Windfall Lake

The Windfall Lake trail climbs for five kilometres through forest and sub-alpine meadows to the far shores of the scenically splendid alpine lake, which is situated in a cirque beneath cliffs at tree-line.  A circular route provides a good option for the return trip, leading through karst topography.  An ever increasingly popular destination that has seen some significant trail improvements in recent years.

From the lake there are a number of more challenging hiking possibilities , onto the ridge above the lake, onto the higher peaks, to  the summit of Tunnel Mountain through Tunnel Cave, and exploring cave features.

Activities

Hiking

The trail to Windfall Lake is a 10 km round trip unless you decide to take the circular return option. Download the trail brochure here.

Swimming

Windfall Lake is a great place to relax, swim, and or camp. Note the spot where the outlet stream disappears into an underground channel.

Snowmobiling

Follow the Bullmoose Mine Road for 17 km and turn left onto the Windfall Creek Forest Service Road. Just before an electrical substation, turn left and there you will find a ‘parking lot’ where you can offload.
