Route Description for Lake Annette Loop Trail

Starting from the parking lot, follow the signs for Lake Annette Loop. You will begin by hiking 200 m to a viewpoint where most visitors will stop for sightseeing and turn back. Choose which direction you would like to complete the loop in. Our guide suggests hiking clockwise by taking the trail to the left;however, there isn’t much difference in the two options.

Enjoy the gentle terrain as it leads you around the lake’s shoreline opening up new views of the surrounding mountains. There are many connecting trails in the area, so be sure to follow Lake Annette signage at all junctions.
