A short loop trail that navigates around this small, shallow, high-altitude lake. Whether a summer hike or a winter snowshoe, it is a family friendly outing.

Difficulty: very easy A1
Elevation Gain: 10m
Distance: 500m
Time: 30 minute loop
Season: All year around
Access: Excellent on major highway open all year around.
Map: 82F/2
Drive: Kootenay Pass is the summit of Highway 3 between Salmo and Creston
Route/Trail: Start from the small parking area beside the lake on the north side of the highway. Pass the day-use cabin on the west side of the lake. Unfortunately, it is not a full loop as the highway forms the south side of the lake.
What to Do: As it is very shallow, swimming is not worthwhile. Bridal Lake cabin is open to the public year-round and has a fireplace, firewood and picnic tables.
