This week we head to Alice Lake Provincial Park and hike the Four Lakes Trail within the park. These photos were taken throughout our hike during our camping trip in early September 2023. The trail is a loop trail that is approximately 6.5km long with minimal elevation gain. It loops through all 4 lakes within the park, Stump Lake, Fawn Lake, Edith Lake, and Alice Lake; and it gives you great views of each lake. We hike the trail clockwise, but obviously as with any loop trail, it can also be hiked counter-clockwise. In between the lakes, the trail traverses through dense forest and small hills. The trail is well maintained and well marked.

Map at the trailhead. Although it's a loop trail, so technically anywhere along the trail can be the trailhead.

Stump Lake.
The trail also takes us near the Cheekye River. We went off trail to check out the river.
Dense forest in between the lakes.
Colorful fungus and moss growing on fallen trees.

Edith Lake.
Small wooden bridge along the trail.
The largest lake, Alice Lake, is also equipped with two beaches, two swimming areas, and a picnic area plus a playground next to the lake. We saw numerous people playing in the water or canoeing/kayaking/paddle boarding in Alice Lake. The park also has a drive-in campground. This park is a great place for camping or to just spend a day with your family.
