what to expect
Alice Lake is surrounded by towering mountains, dense forests and grassy areas. There are four fresh water lakes which dominate the landscape and make swimming and fishing very enjoyable pastimes. The trail around Alice Lake is a popular one for an evening stroll and, for the more adventurous, there is the Four Lakes Trail. There are excellent views of the Squamish River and the Tantalus Range from the DeBeck's Hill Trail. This is a favourite family park.
