Pink Lake Lookout

Just an amazing place to ski to in the Winter months . Trails are always groomed impeccably and scenery is gorgeous

Nice walk, perfect timing without massive people around.Enjoy nature also in Ottawa with Pink Lake

Stunning scenary! Fall is my favorite time of the year for a visit as you get to see all the beautiful fall colours!

We went on a rainy day and weekday but the route was not open. The signs were confusing, had to drive like 5 km detour to the central info place to ask. We did a 3 to 5km walk and the walk was smooth. Great place for bikers.

Beautiful! The water is so clean and the trail is very calming and easy to walk.

Absolutely beautiful scenic place to explore. Free parking. It is quite a walk to the lake from both sides around the lake but a very enjoyable one especially when the weather is nice. The watch deck at the top gives a beautiful view of the whole lake. Experiencing a sunset at that time is absolutely breathtaking. Families have come and visited this lake but have to be very careful with kids because of the steep slopes. The path can get slippery and muddy when it has rained.

While the majority of people biking up here wear spandex, I cycled on a cruiser bike with my dog in her basket. It was hilly, I was a hot mess but we made it. And the colours of the trees in Autumn (Thanksgiving weekend is always stunning!) was worth every calorie burned. Looking forward to coming back via shuttle, to walk the lake loop (dogs aren’t allowed sadly).

Such a beautiful place to hiking and enjoying the nature.

Beautiful place to visit in spring fall or summer, the trail goes all around the lake. it is very up and down though so not for everyone. the view from the lookout is excellent and can be enjoying by everyone
