Elsay Lake in Mount Seymour Provincial Park is a challenging and technical hike that offers stunning views and a backcountry adventure. The trail features steep sections, boulder fields, and bushwhacking, making it a tough but rewarding trek. Hikers can enjoy camping at various sites along the route, with the option to stay in the park run emergency shelter. The lake itself is a peaceful spot for fishing and relaxing, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Overall, Elsay Lake is a rugged and exciting trail for those looking for a true wilderness experience in British Columbia.
