Cedar Lake

Cedar Lake is a small wilderness lake located about 12 km from downtown Golden, British Columbia, accessed via a gravel forestry road on the way to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.

Situated on a forested bench above the Columbia River, it sits within the broader Moonraker Recreation Area.

The lake offers two beaches suitable for swimming and picnicking, with one beach accommodating hand-launching of small watercraft such as canoes and kayaks. Day-use facilities include parking and toilet facilities.

The surrounding Moonraker Trail system provides over 50 km of recreational trails for hiking and mountain biking, accessible directly from the area.

The lake and its neighboring waters have been stocked with trout, and resident wildlife includes Common Loons and Pileated Woodpeckers.
