Lake Agnes is a small mountain lake in the Banff National Park of Alberta, Canada.

It has a surface area of 0.052 km2 and is located approximately 3.5 km[1] (one-way) hiking distance from Lake Louise. A teahouse is situated along the eastern shore at an elevation of 2134 metres[2] (7002 ft). A hiking trail continues down the northern shore, making a 180° turn before ascending to the Big Beehive.[3] Just before the trail starts the arc, a scrambling route up Mount Niblock can be found.

The Little Beehive can be ascended to the east of Lake Agnes.[4] At the top, there are excellent views of the Continental Divide. The Lake Agnes Tea House is situated on the eastern shores of the lake.[5]
