About Diana Lake Camping Site
Diana Recreation Site is near the end of the Diana Lake Trail. The trail distance is 6 km (one-way) with an elevation gain of 600 metres.
NOTE: this is a hiking and equestrian trail. Motorized or mechanized (e.g. mountain bike) use is prohibited.
A moderate hike suited for day trips and family hiking. The trail to Diana Lake has a steady but gradual elevation gain as it travels through open larch meadows towards the scenic lake. From the parking area the trail follows the old roadway. Soon after the aluminum footbridge, take the trail to the right. The trail end destination features the shaded cool waters of Diana Lake framed by peaks of the Brisco Range.
Further excursions are possible to the alpine ridges for views of Mt. Assiniboine, the Goodsirs, and the Bugaboos, to Boyce Pass and the Kootenay River valley or Kootenay National Park. A single camping spot is available at the south end of the lake.
En route to the upper meadows the trail passes Diana Lake Lodge and Teahouse. For more information, visit the Diana Lake Lodge Website at www.dianalake.ca
Horse impacts are increasing at the lake and meadows; please graze horses at least 75 meters from the lake shore.
Catch and release angling at Diana Lake is suggested. The lake elevation is approx. 2140m.
