The Alice Lake Provincial Park contains a popular campground, the four lakes, a series of hiking and biking trails. It is a perfect place for fishing. kayak, canoe and stand-up paddleboarding and a great place for swimming. In the park bears and cougars frequent the area though encounters are infrequent.

We parked at Stump Lake parking lot at the entrance to the Alice Lake Campground, so started the Four Lakes Trail from there. This was a slightly chilly spring day with a slightly gray sky with blue spaces and even light rain.

Once you come across the sign indicating "The Four Lakes", the path goes between the trees to the left, take the path clockwise towards four different lakes inside the park, skirting the lakes through woods already well deforested years ago which in any case is a beautiful trail typical of British Columbia through lush evergreen forests of moss-covered trees. The path, however, is heartbreakingly beautiful, with wooden bridges to cross small streams, it also passes the Cheekye Creek and each lake's charm lies above all in its scenic beauty, with uncontaminated nature surrounding it on all sides.

The path starts out flat and a short distance away reaches Stump Lake and continues along it and in the shade, so cool there are some views of the lake which is surrounded by trees.

You then come across the sign for the next lakes and the path winds through another thicket before reaching a bend where the Cheeky River can be seen below and there is an opportunity to follow the small paths which lead to the rocky banks of the river, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

-  The path between Edith Lake and Fawn lake is really wide and easy to follow and bikes are allowed to ride -

In the end, the trail continues further internally and meets three more lakes; Fawn is the smallest of the four lakes and very scenic, and easy to miss, as you need to take a mini detour off the main trail, Edith is small and the green forest trees are reflected in the calm waters of the lake. This small lake offers a very peaceful place to take a break and absorb the scenery where the green forest trees are reflected in the calm waters of the lake.and Alice Lake has docks and marked off areas for swimming and there are numerous picnic tables making it very family friendly.

Once at Alice Lake reach the road that leads towards the campsites and then then same road leads to the parking lot from the Stump Lake parking lot to the entrance to the Alice Lake Campground where this hike began.
