alouette lake

Alouette Lake is located in Golden Ears Provincial Park. It has a beautiful beach,great picnic area, clean restrooms. Alouette Lake is in a postcard setting. Bring your camera !!!!!!

we go to the lake to just walk around and let the kids go and be kids. we take canoes sometimes but you have to be careful of the winds out on the lake in a small paddle boat. we live close by and do tend to camp there as well. their campground is nice clean and close to the lake. they keep the washrooms clean and the forest is beautiful. we are scout leaders and we have scout camps on the lake shore every year. wonderful place

The trails are awesome and there is one for all types of fitness.I walk my dog up there when the weather permits as it is a bit of a drive to get there just for a short visit usually out walking for an hour or more.

lots of fun for all ages and for a variety of sports, hiking, fishing swimming, horseback riding,boating, Geo-caching, climbing and exploring

We went for an early morning hike on the Gold Creek hiking trails, on a fabulous, very cold sunny day. It was quiet, beautiful, and the trails well kept

The park is easy accessible, It offers a lot of outdoor activities, nature trails, hiking, swimming and much more

It's the best place to visit when you want to swim...boat...sunbath...and get out of the city! But take YOUR garbage with you! It's starting to look like a garbage dump with people leaving there beer cans, pop cans and all around garbage everywhere. Remember you are not the only ones who travel here!

The Alouette lake is situated about halfway the dead-end road that leads from Maple Ridge into the Golden Ears Provincial Park. It has a large day-time recreational area that provides an ideal spot for lunch with many tables to sit around, and there is some opportunity for the handicapped to make a walk along the lakeside using a short paved road.

The scenery around the lake was beautiful. Nice clean water. Beach and picnic area were well kept. Was a hot weekend so there were lots of people. It was a little too crowded for our liking. Would rather go on a weekday next time with less people. Too many boats though. Took away from the tranquility of what could have been an amazing peaceful respite after a long hike.

Alouette lake is a great destination in Golden Ears Provincial Park. The lake is in a large wilderness area but the main beach is developed with lots of parking and great views.

Alouette Lake has something for everyone ~ nice lake to kayak or boat and the shallow beach make for perfect family swimming. There is a creek (Gold Creek) that feeds the lake which is clearly a haven for campers and groups of teens - it's a beauty - nearer to the lake there are big rocks for chillin' and farther along the creek are little waterfalls.Not sure what the fishing is like but we did see guys fishing.

This lake is tucked away and many mainland people have missed the opportunity to see breathtakingly beautiful scenery and lake. It is pristine clean and great for swimming. However be ready for a slightly chilly experience unless its August and there has been lots of sun. The grounds are very clean and well maintained. There is a bathhouse where you can change and wheel chair accessible washrooms. You can even rent a canoe or camp if you book well ahead. We love to visit here with friends and family and take along a picnic. There is ample parking and lots of picnic benches. I highly recommend week days for visiting since it will be less crowded. This is a super place to bring visitors from out of town they are always enthralled with the views. Enjoy!!

Haven't been there in years but it was just as beautiful a park and lake to visit as I remember. Lots of people there on the August long weekend, which was expected. Finding parking was very stressful, also as expected. Still we had a great time once we were able to park and get our stuff down towards the water. Lots of trees right to the edge of the beach, so we were able to find a nice shady spot for our portable bbq and camp chairs. It was a church outing and lots of people went. Everyone seemed to have a great time and my girls didn't want to go home, which is always a good sign when visiting a place like this. When it got really hot, we wandered down to the water's edge and dove in to cool off. Nice that it's only about an hour's drive from Burnaby. Gotta go there camping again one day.

Well no matter what season you go there this is an amazing lake. Not far from anywhere in the lower mainland. Enjoy a scenic drive on route through lush forests. Stop along the way if you wish for a quick nature walk. Tons of parking at the lake with many picnic tables to set up. Mind the water temp as it is glacier fed but refreshing when you need to cool off. If you wish to camp the facilities are great! Safe and secure with rangers giving daily lectures on the fauna surrounding you as well as the history of the area. Further up to the end of the road is my favourite day trip to Gold Creek and the falls. So much to see and do and so close to the Big city.

Very warm weekend, and obviously everyone went to the lakes in Maple Ridge--however, there was no indication on the BC Parks websites of the potential for parks to be at or over capacity. I have been to U.S. national parks that have had contingency plans that involve multiple park rangers/park staff directing traffic to waiting areas, and an hourly cycle to open and close the parking lots--or, if the park is seriously overfilled, they will advise you of that before you make the drive all the way there. Instead, there was one ranger waiting at the closed park gate, who offered no options other than to turn around, remarking, "We've been closed for three hours." You had to drive all the way to the park gate before seeing a "park closed" sign, which could have been placed sooner along the SINGLE approach road. Cars were also parked haphazardly on the too-narrow road, as folks were preparing to trek the mile-and-a-half walk from the entrance to the actual beach. Major disappointment, and a shame, because the pictures really are beautiful. We went to Pitt Lake instead, where the lake itself is close enough to the park entrance that you can park on the side of the road and not have to walk over a mile to reach the water, if you can fit in among all the boat trailers.
