Watersprite Lake is a popular hiking destination near Vancouver that offers stunning views and a photogenic alpine lake at the top. The trail, maintained by the BC Mountaineering Club and Chasing Sunrise, starts with a bumpy drive along Mamquam Service Road before leading hikers through beautiful forests and boulder fields. The lake is surrounded by short mountains and the BCMC Watersprite Hut provides a cozy overnight stay option. Just be prepared for some elevation gain and potentially crowded trails, especially in the summer.
