Route Description for Arrowleaf, Summit, and Tower Trails Loop

Spion Kop in Lake Country, BC, boasts of a compilation of winding trails, but if you want to reach the best views, we suggest following the GPS for Arrowleaf, Summit, and Tower Trails Loop. The network of trails etched into this hidden gem of an area can make it easy to get lost, so come prepared with a map or download GPS. If you do get lost, you can always create-your-own adventure—there’s a high chance you’ll reach a bird’s eye lake view at some point.

Do note that there are some steep inclines! Bring your poles, and come prepared with crampons if you plan on doing this in snowy conditions.
