Alice Lake Provincial Park

Canoes and kayaks are allowed on the lake. Motorized boats are not permitted.

Mountain biking is permitted on certain trails and park roadways. Please see the online brochure map or go to the Park Host for a map of trails. Refer to guidebooks for information about the extensive mountain bike trails in the Squamish area. The Four Lakes Trail is closed to cycling between May 1 and September 15.

There is fishing in all four lakes within the park for rainbow trout, Dolly Varden and some cutthroat. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.

There are 10 trails in this park and they include: The Four Lakes Trail, Mike’s Loop, Stump Lake Loop Trail, Alice Lake Loop Trail, Swamp Lantern Interpretive Loop Trail, Bob MacIntosh Memorial Trail, Jacks Trail, DeBeck’s Hill Trail, Tracks from Hell Trail and trails to the Lower Alice Ridge. The last five trails head out of the park. For your own safety and preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroy plant life and soil structure.

The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC has a fun, hands on, Learn to Fish Program that will teach basic angling skills to youth under 16 years old. Click here for more information about the sessions.

Alice Lake Provincial Park is the home of a very unique program titled “Bear Habitat” which utilizes a variety of props and games that focus on the habitat and characteristics of the black bear. The “Bear Habitat” program is also available at Porteau Cove and Mount Seymour provincial parks.  For details or to book a group, please contact: Ellen Fulton, Sea to Sky Parks; Ph: 604-986-9371 or email:

Pets/domestic animals are allowed in the campground but not in the day use, picnic areas, beaches, or park buildings. Dogs must be on a leash at all times. Owners are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.

There are two beach areas with sandy beach, swimming floats and change houses. The water is usually warm in the summer months. Swimming areas marked by floats. Floating docks at each beach. Short walk from the campground; footwear optional. There are NO LIFEGUARDS on duty at provincial parks.

While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

There are water taps in the campground. There are both water taps and water fountains available in the day-use area. Taps are shut off during the off-season.

Alice Lake Provincial Park now offers 55 vehicle accessible campsites and one of the group camping areas with electrical hook-ups. Each site provides 30 amp service with one standard RV receptacle (NEMA TT-30) and one 15 amp standard household receptacle (NEMA 5). There is an additional electrical service charge of $8/night for these sites (whether the power is in use or not).

There are two group campsites available at this park. The sites can hold groups of 15 to 40 people. Each group site has a central fire ring and tarp posts for your convenience. Please check in at 1:00pm and check out at 11:00am, this will give the park operator time to clean the site prior to the next group’s arrival. For reservation information click here.
