| Brohm
Lake - is a small 13 hectare
lake with a 5 Km (3 mi.) loop trail exploring the shoreline of the
lake, the dense forest and the surrounding bluffs. The mostly easy
grade trail is well maintained and follows a gravel - earthy trail
through the forest. Although, the trail does lead up-and-over some
rock bluffs and requires high-stepping some tree roots.
The lake attracts families and adventure seekers
who enjoy a good day of hiking, mountain biking,
swimming, sightseeing, canoeing, kayaking or fishing. All
groups who visit the area will enjoy the small picnic spots located
around the lake, the swimming areas, the trails and the easy access
boat launch for canoes and kayaks.
Nearby, around the Brohm Lake area, is another
11 Km (6.7 mi.) network of trails mainly
used by mountain bikers and hearty hikers leading deeper into the
400 hectare forest consisting of mainly Lodgepole Pine and Douglas
Fir. From some of the trails fantastic views open up of the Tantalus
Mountain Range.
Hikers and mountain bikers will thoroughly enjoy
the connecting interpretive trails wandering through the bluffs
and forest. Experienced mountain bikers with a good knowledge of
the Squamish area can continue biking deeper into the forest eventually
connecting up to the Cat Lake, Alice
Lake and Garibaldi Highlands hiking
and biking trails. Now that is a ride!
Brohm Lake is very easy to access and locate on Hwy
99 therefore the lake is heavily fished. Although the lake is stocked,
the opportunity to hook a fish can be challenging. The best reported
time to fish for Rainbow trout and Cutthroat is in the spring.
Brohm Lake is a day use recreational site only. There
is no overnight camping and the parking lot is gated after hours.
Lake Access - From Squamish head
north on the Sea to Sky Highway (Hwy 99). Continue north past Garibaldi
Highlands and Alice Lake Provincial Park. Soon after... keep an
eye out for the directional signs leading to Brohm Lake. A dead
give away you are at Brohm Lake is when a big lake shows up on your
left hand side while traveling the highway. Park in the parking
lot and bee-line to the lake.
