alice lake provincial park

Great place to take kids. good fishing great for canoeing and kyacking. Lots of hiking trails goes around the four lakes trail very interesting. Some people do mountain biking around the trails. Good swimming in the summer months. good beach and grassy area to sit on with picnic benches and fire pits. Many camp sites with good areas to set up.

We did the 4 Lakes Trail (6.5 km loop) in about 2 hours. The forest was deep and dark and sheltered us from the rain -- perfect hiking for winter weather. The trails were well marked so we had no trouble finding our way without a map.

A great place to go for a quick and easy 35 minute walk around the lake. It gets very busy in the summer time with all of the visiting campers and locals spending time here to go swimmingand have picnics. This lake is part of the 4-lake trail, which is a 4 to 5 hour hike that takes youto Edith Lake, Fawn Lake, and Stump Lake. The last I did this hike was in late August, and it seemed very popular as even a large tour group was enjoying the hike.

Have visited this lake several times, both in winter and summer. A great place to sit in the early morning sun on the benches provided, waiting for my daughter to finish a run. I sat and read and watched a bald eagle on the tree above me. Very safe for children to swim as the shallow part is marked off. Not a place for people who do not like cold water though, but it doesn't appear to worry the children. Toilet facilities good and plenty of parking. I believe there are two sides of the lake with separate parking.

One of my favorite all day swimming spots near Squamish. Love spending entire days out here. It can get quite crowded in summer though and they'll turn you away if the park is at capacity. On summer weekends get there before noon.

We spent a wonderful afternoon doing the Four Lakes hike. The 6 km trip led us through the rainforest to four different beautiful lakes. The trails are clearly marked. Don't miss this park if you like day hikes!

We saw on our guide (2007, too old apparently!!) that is was $22/night and $5/car, we were "ok, not bad, let's go!". After walking around to find someone (one hour, if not more, finally flashed the car going by to pay for our spot)... The guard tell us "it will be $50!" ($38 for the night and $12 for the car). It's October, it's off season and it's the double of the price from 7 years ago. Better take an hotel for this price! $50!! I'm just choked! Of course it was already the night, and after this road you just want to stop and relax. (To not have to pay so much we parked the car outside.. Near the highway, almost 2km away!! Nice.. ~_~)If you want real nature (and not artificial forest looking) and take care of your budget, go to Cat Lake or Cal-Cheak.PS : Dogs not allowed on the beach?! Neither in the forest! Really?!

Nice relaxing walk around the lake. There are other longer trails to take which we will do on our next trip.

This is our second visit to this pretty park.First visit we were hiking along Alice Lake. An easy stroll, easy enough for 7 to 70 years old (even older... they loved it!). It took us about an hour or maybe 1.5h of slow walking. The trail is mostly flat and clear of roots and rocks. Postcard pretty.Second visit was with mountain bikes, planning to ride along the Four Lakes Trail which was supposed to be open for biking as of September 15th (it is closed every summer). Even though my book claims this is an easy trail, I strongly disagree. We biked clockwise as advised, but all of us, adults and kids, ended up pushing our bikes way more than what we consider reasonable. Only when we arrived to Edith Lake, we found a note posted, saying the trail from Edith Lake to Alice Lake is permanently closed to bikes. The date on the sign is from a year ago (!).We did respect the sign and found our way down via the gravel road. However, I was disappointed by the lack of signs. Nowhere along the trail leading to Edith nor on their website was any mention of this closure. Another disappointment was that that section of the trail closed ahead of us looked wide, flat and pleasant for riding... and we had to respect the closure and get the very bumpy ride on the gravel road. Neither was any signs pointing you to the option of gravel road. Bikers, take notice!

We enjoyed a nice afternoon hike around the lake, a little steep in some parts but worth the trip. Great views of the surrounding lake and forests. Nice place for a relaxing afternoon.

So close to the town of Squamish on the way to Whistler, that it's often overlooked. The short drive off the highway brings you into the heart of a little valley, surrounded by towering peaks, and a small chain of lakes. The trails are perfect for a gentle walk, or miles of mountain bike riding, with a variety of terrain, to select to your abilities. The beach areas, and there are three of them, provide picnic tables and washrooms for the whole family. It would be wise to heed the warnings for wildlife that are posted .....remember this is their home....not yours. Bears, Cougars, elk and deer frequent this lush valley, and call it home. Keep your dog on a leash and keep your children on the trails.

Alice Lake is a family friendly lake with 3 beach areas, one with a walk out dock. Good for swimming, canoeing, picnicking. Surrounded by old growth cedar forests, the scenery is gorgeous. Wonderful camping here, if you are lucky enough to get it!

From the hikes, to the paddle boarding at the lake, to the well-kept campsite, to the kids off-road biking area, this destination was amazing for 3 nights. We could have stayed a week and easily not done the same thing twice! Great value. We'll be back!

Highly recommend. Safe place to take kids for swim. Short drive from Squamish. Was busy on a Saturday but can be forgiven for that - still loads of space. Small kiosk selling ice creams etc. Good playground and very large free car park.A must if in Squamish area

We took our bicycles and rode the perimeter of the lake within about one hour. The bike trail is rugged enough it is best if you have a mountain bike, but my city-slicker street bike survived it with only a couple of times where the chain had to be put back on. Our son enjoyed riding through a tiny bit of water on the trail, but the trail was still VERY easy considering it was not paved. There are lots of picnic tables and a beach front where you can swim. There is a small candy shop there (no hot food as I recall). I don't remember if there were lockers or stroller parking. This is an excellent stop on the way to or from Whistler or you can make a whole day out of it and just stay there for the beach.
