Lower Dewey Lake Trail
Lower Dewey Lake
A short hiking trail that starts right from the town center, leading to a forest lake that reflects snowy peaks. You can walk a loop around the lake.
The trailhead for Lower Dewey Lake is on the east side of town, beside the railway. The steep forest trail climbs about 150 m and takes 30 to 45 minutes to reach the lake. The water is calm and reflects the peaks around it. A loop trail of about 3 km circles the lake, with viewpoints overlooking the town and the cruise ships in the harbor along the way. Fit hikers can continue to Upper Dewey Lake or the glacier overlook. It suits a half-day hike during a cruise stop. Watch out for bears.
