Starvation Lake

Starvation Lake is a small backcountry lake located near Squamish in the Squamish-Lillooet district of British Columbia, covering roughly six acres.

Despite its uninviting name, it sits in a scenic setting and serves as both a hiking destination and a paddling spot during summer months. The lake can be reached via two access points: a trailhead off the Sea to Sky Highway (approximately 2.

6 km in) or from Paradise Valley Road (approximately 3. 5 km in, with AWD advisable). The full thru-hike connecting both ends runs about 7 km, with the lake sitting near the halfway point.

The trail follows the Cheakamus Canyon corridor past the powerline and railway tracks, and is used by both hikers and mountain bikers. Fishing is also possible at the lake.
