Yes thats right, we are opening today for Summer!
Current
Trail Conditions
General
Information: Welcome to spring at Island
Lake Lodge. The Lake, Fir, Old Growth and Rail trail have all had spring clean
ups. We will be working on the Baldy loop and Tamarack trail this weekend.
Rail
Trail: Easy: 3km (one way) 1.86 miles
At the end of this trail you will be able to sit on
a big bench and view the three mountain peaks called the Three Bears, where we
ski in the winter. The trail is snow free and offers easy walking for all ages
and abilities.
Old
Growth Trail: Moderate: 4km (one way) 2.49
miles
Shady old growth cedars and lush interior rainforest
plants make this trail a local favorite. You can start this trail at the Old
Growth parking lot and after a 4 km hike; you can come and enjoy an afternoon
beverage, cocktail and meal at the Bear Lodge. Stay bear aware. Watch out for some water on the trail at the
beginning after the second bridge. We have placed a temporary bridge in this
section to hopefully avoid wet feet.
Lake
Trail:
Easy: 2km (one way around the
lake) 1.24 miles
Take some time to observe the families of ducks and
ducklings out on the lake. There have also been sightings of a moose and calf
on the island. If you see the moose please leave lots of space and back away
slowly. The trail is in good shape and is free of snow.
Fir
Trail: Easy: 3km (one way) 1.86 miles
This family oriented trail wanders thru some of the
biggest Douglass Fir, Tamarack and Western Red Cedar trees that Island Lake has
on its propriety. However there is a short snowy section at the
beginning of the trail. We have marked the trail with log on either side of the
snow patches to make the trail more visible.
Tamarack
Trail: (Viewpoint) Moderate: 4km (Summit)
Advanced:8km (one way) 4.97 miles
We have not yet maintained the trail. We have
reports that there are a few trees down at the start of the trail and a snowy
section before the viewpoint. This trail is not recommended at this time.
We will be working on the trail on Saturday to
remove the trees and mark the snow section.
Baldy
Loop: Advanced: 10.5km (one way) 6.52 miles
We have not yet maintained the trail. We have no
other information at this time. This trail is not recommended.
Spineback
Trail: Advanced: 3.5 km (one way) 2.17miles
It is still winter up in the bowl where the
Spineback trail is. This trail is not recommended at this time.
