Cheakamus Lake
Enjoy a leisurely hike to a picturesque glacier lake
Smooth kid-friendly trail. See granite outcrops, towering cedars and douglas fir in a beautiful forest running along a wild river with hidden beaches, leading to a stunning turquoise lake cropped by lovely mountain ridges.
The sides of the trail are covered in huckleberry bushes and gorgeous blooming wild flowers. Be sure to keep an eye out because this trail is your best chance to spot a black bear! This hike truly feels like something out of a fairytale.
