This well-marked circuit north of Squamish tours all four lakes within Alice Lake Provincial Park. The hike offers some moderately difficult singletrack paired with easier walking paths near the campground, and it's a great option to go for a swim on hot summer days. Just a short drive from town, this is one of the classic, must-do adventures in the area.

Description

Overall, this is a family-friendly hike, though younger children may not handle the distance as well. You can also experiences the park year-round, just bear in mind that there may be some snow during the winter months, and mud likely during the spring. Leashed dogs are also allowed to enjoy this hike.
