Route Description for Augerpoint Beach
From the parking area follow the well-maintained path down the boat launch, passing the various picnic areas along the way.
Shortly you will reach Augerpoint Beach. Directly across the immense Buttle Lake you will be able to see where the Phillips Creek meets the lake.
Glancing upwards you will see Marble Peak to the right, and the somewhat less impressive Phillips Peak to the left. Begin hiking left (south) along the beach to the southern end, where you will get a stunning view down the remainder of Buttle Lake, with Mt. Myra looming overhead. You get a very good impression of the scale of mountain in Strathcona park, seeing the full 1,500 m rise of Myra towering above the lake.
