Jacques Lake is a pretty place to spend time.  It is only 12 kms in from the Maligne Lake Road Trailhead. Jacques Lake is also the first campground on The South Boundary Trail, 165 kms, which exits at the Nigel River Trailhead on the Parkway south of the boundary between Banff and Jasper National Parks.
Only 1.5 kms in from the trailhead is this delightful mountain lake. Beaver Lake by name.  Fishermen were trying their luck when I passed by. I just found it beautiful.
This is one of two Summit Lakes on the trial.  It is a "sink hole" lake meaning it has no apparent spring feeding it.
The same Summit Lake.  These magestic mountains form a beautiful backdrop to the lake.  The picture is taken from the south side of the lake just a few hundred meters further along the trail from the previous picture; the first view of the lake.
