Edwards and Tannis Lakes Trail Description

Hiking the Edwarda and Tannis Lakes Loop is a fun and accessible way to get out and experience the natural beauty of Tetrahedron Provincial Park. With a moderate length, small amount of elevation gain, and fairly easy terrain; this trail offers a more casual hiking experience when compared to some other routes within the park. Setting out from the trailhead, follow the route to the southeast as you work your way through the forest to a junction in the trail. Take the path to the right and follow it as it passes between Tannis and Batchelor Lake. The trail will cross over several creeks and turn north to meet back up with the main trail. Follow this right to continue on to the shore of Edwards Lake, where you will have an amazing view overlooking its calm water. After taking in the views, head back along the trail and pass straight through the junctions to skirt around the northern edge of Tannis Lake and arrive back at the trailhead.
