Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Alouette lake within Golden Ears Provincial Park, the park provides excellent camping and picnicking facilities in a number of areas. Boat launch areas are available at Allouette Lake. With heavy summer use it is advisable to arrive early for campsites, or use the reservation service offered by the Ministry of the Environment’s BC Parks Branch. 205 campsites are trailer and RV accessible, a sani-station and no hookups. Pit and flush toilets are available in the camp and day use areas. The day use area, complete with change house and picnic areas, has a large sandy beach with a wonderful swimming area. Surrounding trails draw hikers, bikers and horseback riders.An additional beach area is reached by a 500 metre long hike alongside Gold creek that terminates at “North Beach” The shoreline and shallows are a little rocky but swimming is good here if not a little cold due to the glacier fed creek. For a day away from it all there is little to beat it for the average person.
