For the most current information on trail closures and advisories, please visit the Alberta Parks website.

The trail is generally closed in May and June to allow the area to dry and prevent damage to the trail. There can still be snow found at high elevation at the end of June.

This moderately difficult, 12 km (7.46 mi) hike follows Galatea Creek, crossing 11 different bridges — including seven bridges over the Kananaskis River — to Lillian Lake. More ambitious hikers can extend their trek to Upper Galatea Lake, which offers spectacular views of an alpine valley.

You’ll find the well-signed trailhead on Highway 40, approximately 5 km / 3 mi south from the Kananaskis Country Golf Course.

Distance: 12 km / 7.46 mi / Return
