Alice Lake Provincial Park
A lakeside park just north of Squamish, ringed by snowy peaks and forest, with beach swimming, boating and the Four Lakes loop hike. It is the most popular summer spot in the area.
Alice Lake Provincial Park lies about 13 km north of Squamish. The lakeshore has two sandy beaches, grassy lawns and picnic areas. In summer you can swim, paddle a canoe or try stand-up paddleboarding. Motorboats are not allowed on the lake. The loop trail around the lake takes about 2 hours. The more challenging Four Lakes Trail (about 6 km) links Alice Lake, Stump Lake, Fawn Lake and Edith Lake, making it a good half-day hike. The park also has mountain biking trails.
Entry is free. The park has about 100 campsites, which must be booked in advance on the BC Parks website. Note that on summer weekends the parking lot fills by morning, so arrive early. Black bears are often seen near the lake, so don’t leave food outside your car.
