Short hike and picnic Squamish- Alice Lake and Stump Lake (Loop)

About the hike

. Considered an easy route, it typically takes about 60 minutes to complete, making it a great option for a relaxed outing. Popular among birdwatchers, anglers, and casual hikers, this trail still offers peaceful moments—especially during quieter times of day. Open year-round, it’s a beautiful destination in any season.

The loop winds around both Alice Lake and Stump Lake within Alice Lake Provincial Park, beginning from the parking lot situated just south of the Alice Lake Campground. During periods of heavy snowfall, this lot may become inaccessible; in such cases, hikers are advised to use the Stump Lake access trailhead along Alice Lake Road instead.

Be aware that the Stump Lake trailhead has limited parking, so it’s best to arrive early on snowy days. Along the route, you’ll find a number of pleasant stops—campgrounds, picnic tables, benches, and small beaches—that provide great opportunities to take a break, enjoy a snack, or simply admire the surrounding views. On clear days, you can spot snow-capped peaks and catch the reflection of the landscape on the calm waters of the lakes.

Alice Lake is well-suited for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing while observing the local birdlife. Stump Lake, on the other hand, is ideal for fishing—just be sure to obtain the necessary permit and fish only in designated areas.

Easy Hike + Beach Hangout at Alice Lake! 🌲☀️🏖️

We’ll be doing a short and easy walk around Alice Lake—nothing too strenuous—just enough to stretch our legs and take in the beautiful scenery.

After that, we’ll settle in at the beach for a relaxed hangout. Bring your lunch, snacks, or anything you’d like to share—we can eat together, make some simple food, and enjoy the day! 🧺🍉🍪

Feel free to bring swimwear if you’d like to go for a swim, or just kick back by the water. Paddleboarding, frisbee, or just chilling with good conversation—it’s all about having fun and relaxing together. 🏊‍♀️☀️🎉

This isn’t a hike in the usual sense—it’s more of a casual outdoor get-together. Come for the fresh air, friendly faces, and good vibes.
