If you are searching for something beautiful to do in the summer I would recommend hiking with your friends in Garibaldi Provincial Park in BC, Canada. If you don’t want to hike then there is some amazing lakes to swim in, just watch out for the lake monster known as Ogopogo. Anyways, if you do want to hike then I suggest that you go on a lonely trail deep into the forest near Heart Lake. It’s beautiful and has lots of cool little hiding spots. Just don’t get lost because it would take forever to find you, and the forest get’s pretty scary at night.
What is Heart Lake?
Heart lake is a small lake located in the Garibaldi Provincial Park. It’s deep blue colour and high cliffs make it very unique and beautiful. The water of this lake is so pure that you can easily drink it without filtration (this has been tested by locals).

Heart Lake itself isn’t hard to find, it’s the Heart Lake trail that is hard to find. The trailhead is located at Rubble Creek parking lot, this is roughly 1 hour from Whistler Village and 2 hours from Vancouver.

Heart Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Canada and it is a very popular hiking destination. It is also thought that ‘The Hanging Lake’ from Lost Girl was inspired by Heart lake, but there has been no confirmation on this.

There isn’t really anything hazardous surrounding Heart Lake, just be careful for wildlife if you are camping. When hiking to the lake watch out for the mountain goat that has been spotted in this area.
How can Heart Lake be dangerous?
Heart Lake is not really that dangerous, but people have gone missing on this trail before so please do not hike alone. If you do go by yourself than never go in the direction of Heart Creek, only in the direction of Heart Lake. If you are camping, stay at least 20 meters away from any water source.
Heart Lake is a very beautiful find, it’s perfect for any nature lover or photographer looking for that perfect shot. It’s also worth mentioning that this lake was one of the locations used for Lost Girl. The trail can be very hard to find and you will probably get lost if you try finding it alone (not that I would know or anything).
