Alice Lake Provincial Park

Alice Lake Provincial Park

Located just north of Squamish, British Columbia, Alice Lake Provincial Park is a popular natural sanctuary renowned for its dense forests, mountain views, and clear freshwater lakes. It serves as an accessible outdoor getaway for those exploring the Sea-to-Sky Highway corridor.

The park encompasses four distinct lakes: Alice, Edith, Fawn, and Stump. These interconnected water bodies are surrounded by coastal rainforests characterized by towering Douglas fir, western red cedar, and hemlock trees, creating a pristine environment for local wildlife and nature lovers.

Visitors can explore the popular Four Lakes Trail, a scenic loop that connects all the lakes and offers a peaceful walk through the lush forest. The park is highly favored for non-motorized water activities such as swimming, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding, particularly at the main Alice Lake where most facilities are concentrated.

The park's proximity to Squamish makes it an excellent base camp for exploring the broader outdoor recreation region of Canada. The well-maintained day-use areas and extensive trail networks ensure a comfortable experience deeply immersed in the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
