EASILY ACCESSIBLE

Located in the south east end of Gatineau Park, the trail offers a neat 2,3 kilometre loop trail around a beautiful lake in which the trail takes it name from. You can either access the trail by vehicle, bike or by walking. Max, Ollie and I chose to hop off a bus in the outskirt of Gatineau Park and walk 5 kilometres through the forest 'till we got to the lake.

THE (NOT SO) PINK LAKE

The keen eye will notice that the lake, despite it's name, is not a pink lake but is actually a green lake. The green color is a result of excessive growth of algae in the water. However, the lake sometimes occur blue in the Spring depending on the concentration of algae. But why call a green lake for pink? Well, The Pink Lake takes it name from the Pink family who settled in the area in the 1830s.
