Loggers Lake Trail - One of the easier lakes to access by walking a short distance. But, be aware, the distance to the lake may be short but the steep climb to the lake is not easy. The trail is a steep climb hiking over mainly loose rocks following a deactivated road, now hiking and mountain biking trail, for 350 metres.

Logger's Lake, considered a watershed, is a small lake surrounded by trees and rock formations located in the Whistler Interpretive Forest. There is a trail on one side of the lake that follows the shores to a floating wooden dock. The lake seems so secluded, yet it is not far from the gravel road. probably a big reason why the lake is popular for swimming, fishing and picnicking.

Mountain bikers can continue pass Logger's Lake following the gravel trail for 6 Km. The trail finishes off as a loop trail and circles back to the main road. Mountain Bikers will be glad to hear that the Logger's Lake Trail also connects to some of the other biking trails in the Whistler Interpretive Forest like the Ridge Trail and the Riverside Trail. Some of the other area trails around Loggers Lake include the Crater Rim Trail, the Lava lookout, the Riparian, Amabilis Fir Spacing trails, Columnar and the Talus Slopes Trail.

Fishing in the lake comes courtesy of the local fishing associations. On a regular basis the local fishing groups keep the lake stocked with rainbow trout. The lake is a popular destination for anglers with a belly-boat and some time to kill.

Loggers Lake is a geological wonder. The lake rests in a volcanic cone that burst through the earths crust 10,000 years ago. The columnar basalt formations on the slopes above the lake are a result of the lava cooling. A sight worth relaxing with.

Lake Access - From Hwy 99 turn onto the Cheakamus Lake Road. From here travel another 2.2 Km to the Loggers Lake pull out parking lot. It is easily identified by the large wooden billboard sign with a Logger's Lake Area Trail map posted on it. A small blue Riverside Trail sign is nailed to the billboard.
