Alice Lake
Lakeside and hillside trails await visitors in Alice Lake Provincial Park. In keeping with the park's easygoing nature, you can make as much of them as you care. One trail blends into the other in a pleasing fashion, and you're never far from a viewpoint and one of four lakes - Alice, Stump, Fawn, and Edith - found within the park.
The Four Lakes Loop Trail (7.5 miles/12 km) is the longest and threads by them all.
Lakeshore Walk is a short but pretty walking trail that leads along the north side of Alice Lake and links the campground with the lake's two picnic beaches.
The Stump Lantern Interpretive Trail offers another short walk through the forest at the north end of Alice Lake. After a visit here, you'll have learned to identify creeping liverwort, lady fern, skunk cabbage, and devil's club when you spy them carpeting the forest floor elsewhere in your travels.
DeBeck's Hill presents the steepest challenge in the park. An old logging road winds its way for about a mile up DeBeck's Hill from the south end of Alice Lake. Follow it to the top and in less than an hour you'll be treated to a great view of the Squamish region, including Howe Sound, the Tantalus glaciers, and the Cheakamus River boring its way through a steep-sided granite canyon.
