The 7,000 acres of pristine wilderness at Island Lake provides countless hiking opportunities.

Whether you are interested in a 30-minute walk or a full day hike, Island Lake has what you need. We have the best maintained and most diverse hiking trails in the valley.

Want to learn about flora and fauna? Guided interpretive hikes are available. Our hiking guides can take you on a short half day interpretive walk or an all day adventure. A guided hike is a great way to discover places you may not experience on your own and learn about the local environment.

  • BIG WHITE PEAK
    Sunday, July 28th
  • Full day hike, challenging terrain
    Rating: Difficult
    This hike begins on the Spineback Trail then continues on unmarked slopes at the far reaches of the Cedar Valley.
    Highlights include spectacular valley views and an abundance of beautiful glacier lilies which will be in full bloom at the beginning of July.
    Big White is found in the back of the second basin through a steep scree-slope leading to the widest and least steep access point.
    This is the only access to the Lizard Ranges’ ridge crest above Island Lake Lodge.
