Summit Lake, in Waterton Lakes National Park, is a fine little hike that gives great views south into Glacier National Park, USA. There's a great linear walk that continues from here down to Upper Waterton Lake, over 24 km. We just hiked the short trail to Summit Lake though. We saw no bears on this walk, but did spot three in a nearby valley, when we were driving around. they were being shooed up the hill by a guy - we thought perhaps they'd got too close to the campsite. 
It was on this trip that we decided to buy kayaks. There was a canoe rental outfit on the shore, charging something like $30 per 30 mins and $10 per swapped paddler. A quick sum showed that we'd get that money back very quickly if we just bought some boats.....it's easy to convince yourself on a hot mountain lakeside day!
