Poland Lake Trail

Day Ride Trail
Poland Lake freezes over in the winter and does not thaw out until early July. The spring flower bloom often occurs later here than up in the subalpine meadows so it is an opportunity to see spring flowers that are often otherwise missed. Although this trail primarily skirts along side the mountains and not through large meadow areas, there are incredible floral displays throughout the route.

Best Time to Go: Late June to early October. Follow Highway #3 (Hope-Princeton Highway) 67 km east of Hope to the intersection with a flashing amber light just past the Manning Park Lodge. Turn right onto the road and follow it for 8 km to the Strawberry Flats parking lot, located just before the Gibsons Pass ski area. For the most part the trail is a fire access road. The trail is level for about .5 km and then gradually starts to climb. At .8km there is a creek, but the remainder of the hike to the lake will be dry. At 1km Red Mountain is visible through the Lodgepole Pine. The trail gradually veers away from Gibson Pass Road and climbs more steeply to the ski hill. Once you reach the ski run area (just before the orange chair) the route varies. Hikers go to the left and cross under the chair lift; cyclists and those on horseback stay to the right keeping on the fire access road which makes several switch backs and comes out at the top of the orange chair then continues to the 4.5 km point where the two routes join. Cyclists and horses are only permitted to travel to the end of the road. Horses cannot access the lake once they reach it. It is about 18km round trip.

The western portal, marked by the carving of a marmot, is 26 km east of Hope and the eastern portal, marked by a carving of a bear, is 52 km west of Princeton. The core area of the park is located 68 km east of Hope and 68 km west of Princeton.
