Nestled at the base of Pyramid Mountain, which overlooks the town of Jasper in Jasper National Park, Pyramid Lake is one of 20 small lakes left behind by retreating glaciers in what's known as the Pyramid Bench area. Found at the end of Pyramid Lake Road, just 5 km (3 mi) from Jasper, the lake is a popular spot for fishing and paddling. It empties into the Athabasca River via Pyramid Creek. There are a number of hiking and mountain biking trails that connect the lake to the town and other natural attractions such as Pyramid Island and Patricia Lake.
