Hike updated Cypress~ Cabin Lake Trail: Easy

About the hike

About:

Explore this 5Km out-and-back trail near Strachan Creek, British Columbia. It’s generally rated as moderately challenging and takes about 2 hours to complete. This is a popular hiking destination, so expect to encounter others on the trail. The best time to visit is from March through October. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash.

The trail is clearly marked, though shade is limited on sunny days. There are plenty of water sources along the way, including streams and Cabin Lake, so if you bring a water filter, you can pack lighter.

Sturdy hiking boots or trekking shoes and poles are recommended, especially for the steep initial section leading up to Cabin Lake. After that, the trail levels out into a beautiful walk through the forest. The lake is great for a swim, and the views from Black Mountain are absolutely worth the climb.
