Short hike, about 15-20 minutes, but some of it up hill. Once you are there you can climb to the top, there is a rope to help get up and down, though it is very steep. But the view is amazing and so worth it. Also, this is a very very popular site, parking lot before the trail was packed and lined all the way down the road. Just be aware, there was about 30-40, maybe more cars when we were here and 4 times that in people. It was packed. I'd recommend getting up and going here early!

Absolutely stunning! Gorgeous and totally worth the hike! It was reasonably short and easy to get to the lake. To get to this view though, you have to go up a very vertical trail, which was difficult for some families and those who are afraid of heights.

Love this spot for swimming and pictures! It's a relatively easy hike in(just one hill) to climb. Fresh water that isn't nearly as cold as the Atlantic. There are a few benches around, and a few places to get in and out of the water. Usually busy, but not overflowing.

Never knew that this place existed until this year It is an easy walk up to the mine. Beautiful and the water was relatively warm. Many families there...some swimming some not. Worth a look for sure.

My favorite hiking route on the island. The lake by the end is quite rewarding like a hidden gem. It reminded me those lakes in Banff park, the color and everything - peaceful and joyful.

What a unique experience! A great mix of history and beautiful views. Hike in (only about 15min.) easy to get to and well marked. Amazing views and trails. A must do along the trail!

We camped here with our tent and used the very nice wooden washrooms inside. Our host, Kevin, was very friendly and helpful, we had a very nice chat over some coffee with good recommendations for the surrounding area. Even outside in the tent we had very good wifi reception. I highly recommend this place!

My boyfriend and I visited the lake this weekend and it was amazing! Absolutely beautiful view from the look-off and such a great place to swim. The only thing we regret is not having anything to float on! Definitely recommend bringing some floaties of some sort so that you can hang out in the water longer!

Beautiful spot, you can actually go up a hill on a rope and take a panoramic picture of the lake from above. The water is green and shiny, it's a little cold so it's ideal for a hot weather. There is an abrupt change in depth and it's so deep you can't see anything but a floatie is a nice addition when you go there.
