Lindeman Lake Trail
Lindeman Lake
A short hiking trail in Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park that climbs for about 1.5 hours to a bright emerald alpine lake, one of the most popular hikes in the Fraser Valley.
Lindeman Lake lies deep in Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park in the Chilliwack River valley. The one-way trail covers about 1.7 km and climbs about 220 meters, following a stream and steep slopes of boulders through old-growth forest. It takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach the lake. The water is emerald green from glacial minerals and is surrounded by steep cliffs and scree slopes. You can continue on to the more distant Greendrop Lake. It is about 80 km from Harrison Hot Springs village (via Chilliwack), and the final stretch is a valley road. The trail is slippery and rocky, so wear hiking boots. Parking lots are extremely crowded on summer weekends, so set out early in the morning and watch for bears. Free admission.
