This is a beautiful alpine lake in Valhalla Provincial Parking with campsites along the shoreline. The hike in isn't far or difficult, however getting to the trailhead is another story and should only be attempted to 4x4/AWD vehicles with high clearance. If you make here it makes a great basecamp to explore this remote area.
