Site Description:
Trail length: 6 km, one way. Elevation gain 600m.
NOTE: this is a hiking and equestrian trail. Motorized or mechanized (e.g. mountain bike) use is prohibited.
A moderate hike suited for day trips and family hiking. Approximately 2.5 to 3 hrs one way. The trail to Diana Lake has a steady but gradual elevation gain as it travels over pinnacle creek, follows the west slopes above the creek and then through open larch meadows towards the scenic lake. From the parking area the trail follows the old roadway. Soon after the aluminum footbridge, take the trail to the right. The end destination features the shaded cool waters of Diana Lake framed by peaks of the Brisco Range. Several avalanche paths are crossed. The elevation at the trail end is approximately 2530m.
Further excursions are possible to the alpine ridges for views of Mt. Assiniboine, the Goodsirs, and the Bugaboos, to Boyce Pass and the Kootenay River valley or Kootenay National Park. A single camping spot is available at the south end of the lake. En route to the upper meadows the trail passes Diana Lake Lodge and Teahouse. For more information, visit the Diana Lake Lodge Website at www.dianalake.ca
Horses are permitted on the trail but not recommended. Horse impacts are increasing at the lake and meadows; please graze horses at least 75 meters from the lake shore.
Catch and release angling at Diana Lake is suggested. The lake elevation is approx. 2140m.
