I rent a bicycle from downtown and biked all the way up to the Pink Lake. It was a wonderful day trip to experience the local nature. I suggest you to bring a lot of water since there is not many stores nearby. I did the trip alone and notice that there were not many people doing this trail, so I suggest to go in groups just for security.

trail is basically broadwalk with elevation and stairs so not stroller friendly. I went on Thursday afternoon and parking was pretty much full. so weekends really busy. views are breathtaking. I even meditation for a while- nice. expect ppl so not that quite at all time. so I was sitting at one of the place with views and I hear ppl taking from distant. you will find ppl eating at some spots. you don't feel remote with such beautiful views.

This place is simply beautiful, the scenic view you get in fall is mesmerizing. Definitely one place in the bucket list. Parking can be an issue, fall time does justify the beauty of the place, however in summer as well it is gorgeous. Water is so clean, you can’t go in the water as it is not allowed 🚫. Do visit that.

Loved this place, which has a beautiful trail by the side of the a turquoise lake. One of the must visit place in Ottawa.

Absolutely breathtaking area, especially with the fall colours! I highly recommend going as early as possible to avoid groups/other hikers. It’s extremely calm and beautiful here. Not a very difficult hike, and took me about 45-60 minutes taking my time and enjoying the peace of the trail.

Such a beautiful & must visit location both in summer & fall!

Probably the most beautiful hike in Gatineau/Ottawa region, there are two free parking areas. The trail is a loop of 2.3 km. Dogs and swimming is prohibited. Tip : I would recommend going when it's sunny, the color or the water is just out of this world!

30 minutes drive from Ottawa. Beautiful lake surrounded by lots of trails nice place for a day trip Lots of nice lookout points for pics Summer/autumn best time to visit

Amazing place for summer hikes. It’s very peaceful with wonderful views all over the place. Best time to visit would be during fall season to watch beautiful fall colours.

One of the best spot for hiking near Ottawa/Gaiteneau. Visit this place with your friends, family. Pink Lake is a natural wonder that captivates with its unique pink hue. The tranquil surroundings and shimmering waters make it a serene escape. The hiking trails provide stunning views, and the lake's ecological significance adds to its allure. A hidden gem for nature lovers seeking beauty and tranquility.

The lake is just so beautiful ! It’s a must see place in Gatineau!

Don't be fool by it's name (pink). But it will absolutely take you breathe by it's magic of turquoise water! Yeah you read it true, turquoise water in quebec othen than banff national park. But I must say pink lake is equally beautiful specially in fall. So plan your next visit to pink lake if you are around.

We love Pink Lake! The bottom of this lake is oxygen-free so plants and animals aren't able to live down there. The water is blue-green actually. The trails are great. Good time to visit is during Fall to see the lovely Fall foliage 😍

Love Pink Lake any time of year, Winter, Spring, Fall or Summer! I noticed some new followers so hello friends. Nice to see ya'll. Hope these photos make you smile. Stop bullying people the wrong person and how about leaving the investigation to the police? They are investigating right? I told you I had nothing else to say. I also didn't email you; I sent a chat to your website. You do realize your website has a chat function right? You decided to threaten police action so I said I wanted to say after seeing how you reacted to a negative review. You're the one who made a joke about my 'partner' as you stated and you're the one who jumped to conclusions that you worked with us. I clearly told you that we had not worked with you but had reached out and after you were rude with us, we decided not to work with you. Then you clearly have shown how rude you really are, it's actual quite comical although I feel really bad how you treated a child's art FB page and spammed it But we all reported the comments and took screenshots of everything. Hope you've had a lovely day though. I feel sorry that you cannot handle a negative review, lol. Like c'mon. It was over 4 months ago we posted it. It only said 'new' review because I edited it. :)

Beautiful lake, highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. There are walking trails all the way around the lake and parking nearby.

Pink Lake is a wonderful place for a walk, make sure to wear some comfortable shoes as the path can get ruff in some areas with the branches and rocks. Parking can be hard to find in the main areas but if you enjoy walking there are some places to park further away and you can enjoy an extra workout before getting there.

Very scenic and mesmerizing for family walk or trail/small hike to refresh. Comfortable for younger kids with well equipped fencing. #familywalk #trail #nature #summertime

Just gorgeous. If your looking for a breathtaking view i would reccomend. the air quality is amazing and the sight just beautiful. If you love nature this is a place to see. I would go 100% again. Running shoes is a must the trail is through a forest and i learned that the hard way (women sandals do not work) beware there is obviously wild life small snakes, squirls, etc. watch your kids please dont let them wander off.

Beautiful. Hiking trails is a must try. Search for pink lake lookout in maps. And if you don't find parking there, there is a parking fee mins down the road where the trail starts

Nice short round flat hike. Not much parking but there are many parking stations as we drove by.

Beautiful place, rich in history and facts about this lake ❤️

Not the best of the lakes if we compare these trekk with lakes of BC. But still irs okay for new hikers/walkers.

2.5km trail with circular view of the lake. Good anecdotes along the path.

Beautiful nature walk trails!

The view of the lake was stunning! Such a living painting 🖼✨

Pink Lake is a meromictic lake located in Gatineau Park, Quebec, Canada. The surface of the waters are a deep green during the month of August and September due to the abundance of algae in the water. Suitable for experience activities and weekend visits

Such a beautiful walk. I've been here both Fall and Spring and it's always lovely. Bring bug spray just in case as there is a warning for ticks.

It’s a loop take 1.5 hours to complete it’s not pink lake it’s the Color’s in falls which looks like pink

Nice lake, trails aren’t too crowded. At least not when I was there back in September. Would gladly go back

Been there over 5 times never get tired of going there

Beautiful, period!

Great view and worth the long hike there

What a beautiful view, it was a beautiful hike!

Amazing lake which looks like a painting. One of the best places to hike.
