Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Alice Lake Provincial Park adventure.
Four lakes beneath scenic mountains draw campers, hikers, and paddlers to this western Canada park.
Named for Alice Rose, a settler, ranch cook, and outdoorswoman, Alice Lake Provincial Park is located off the Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99) between Vancouver and Whistler. In BC’s Coast Mountains, the park has four freshwater lakes—the largest is the park’s namesake. Hikers can walk the Four Lakes Trail that loops past them all, or climb other hiking trails for views across the Tantalus Range. You can go mountain biking on park trails and roadways, too. Swim from the two sandy beaches, go canoeing or kayaking, or explore by paddleboard. For campers, the 96 vehicle-accessible campsites and 12 walk-in sites, which are all reservable, are a short walk from Alice Lake. The forested camping areas have a sani-station, electrical hookups, and washrooms with flush toilets and hot showers.
Camping season at Alice Lake Provincial Park normally runs from mid-March through October. This locally popular park is within day trip distance of both Vancouver and Whistler, so it’s especially busy throughout the dry, temperate summer and mild autumn, and on weekends for much of the year. The park gates are locked from November through mid-March, although it’s possible to walk into the park if you’re prepared for snow and winter conditions.
