Alice Lake Provincial Park is an easy outdoor stop just north of Squamish, with forest, mountain views, and four small lakes close together. The day-use area at Alice Lake has picnic tables, a playground, sandy swimming beaches, and space for families to settle in for a few hours.
It is not wilderness in the hard sense, but it is a good place to cool off, walk under the trees, or break up a Sea to Sky drive. Summer weekends can be busy, so arrive early if you want a relaxed lake day.
