Lake Magog Campground to Cerulean Lake & Assiniboine Lodge Trail Description

Although there is a small amount of elevation gain along the trail from the Lake Magog Campground to Cerulean Lake & Assiniboine Lodge, the route isn’t overly hard or technical, making it a fantastic day-hike in the area. Setting out from the shores of Lake Magog, follow the trail to the northwest as it skirts along the edge of the Sunburst and Cerulean Lakes under the shadow of Sunburst Peak. Here, the trail will branch off to the right and begin to climb uphill, traversing the rugged terrain of the Nublet and Niblet while exposing you to some magical views of the surrounding mountains. At this point, you will follow the trail to the southeast to descend the hillside and make your way through the serene atmosphere of the forest, eventually arriving at the Assiniboine Lodge. Keep right along the path, following it as it bends to the west to take you along the shores of Lake Magog for the return leg of the hike.
