ROCKSLIDE LAKE TRAIL

The trail to Rockslide Lake is an easy walk over a low pass, through an ever-changing wildflower display. Rockslide Lake,  just below the pass, is the headwaters of Falls Creek. It is a good fishing lake, stocked regularly by the Ministry of Environment.

Trail: The trail goes over a low pass. A rough trail goes around the edge of the lake giving access to the entire lake. There are no facilities, but campers have made a small clearing that will accommodate a tent. 
If the fish aren’t biting, the rock slide is fun to climb for an eagle-eye view of the area. Or you can eat huckleberries depending on the season.
On the walkout, there is a good view of the Valhallas.
