Hicks Lake, British Columbia, Canada
4.0 (140 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Harrison Hot Springs Bodies of Water
Great Painting Location
I am a full-time artist. I went up to HIcks Lake to see if it would be a nice painting location and it exceeded my expectations. A nice, natural feeling and looking location. Compared with Harrison Lake, Hicks Lake is quiet and offers many views that would make excellent references for paintings. This year, if possible, I will be going back there with a kayak to really explore its possibilities. Good parking, plenty of quiet places to set up a painting kit, an overall nice lake to visit

You Will be Glad you Went
This a great place to spend a day with children. I have taken my grandchildren several times and it's always a good day. Pack a picnic This park has the feeling of being in a wilderness setting removed from any frills enabling one to reconnect with nature. There is a very pleasant walking trail around the lake which takes about an hour and a half. Long enough for the kids to get some exercise but short enough that they enjoy the walk. Afterwards you can spend a few hours at the beach area where there are picnic tables and the kids can get their fill of fun in the water. On the way back you may want to stop at the Greenpoint picnic area on Harrison Lake. It's a beautiful spot but the water is cold. Then it's on to the town of Harrison Hot Springs where you find a variety of places to eat something before heading home.

Beautiful and Challenging hike
This wonderful spot provided an afternoon of exercise and beauty as we walked around the lake. The awe of nature was everywhere and we stopped to take many wonderful photos. From time to time we paused and heard nothing but the wind in the trees, magical moments.
