Difficulty Rating:
There’s an element of uncontained excitement when making your way to a destination with the name Hidden Lake. Just hearing the name evokes a sense of adventure, and you won’t be disappointed when choosing this route. It is a stunning trail that leaves from spectacular Upper Kananaskis Lake and ends at the almost fake-looking Hidden Lake.

Hidden Lake Trail Description
From the North Interlakes day-use area, find the trail sign and join the Three Isle Lake trail. After 984ft, you will pass the decommissioned Indefatigable trail and continue straight along the Three Isle Lake trail. 0.6mi from the trailhead, pass the junction to the Upper Lake Circuit and keep on the main trail. 0.7mi from this junction, the Three Isle Lake trail veers off to the right, and you will stay on the left trail. This is the Upper Kananaskis Lake trail that leads to the Point Backcountry site. Pass the campground and come to Sarrail Falls 0.6mi further. Continue on the straight-forward trail as it wraps around the lake, gaining elevation before the unforgettable Hidden Lake emerges into view. After revelling in the surrounding sights, head back the way you came as this is an out-and-back route.
