🇨🇦 ​​Ultimate Buntzen Lake Loop Hiking Guide 🌲​​

After years in Vancouver, I finally took transit to hike ​​Buntzen Lake​​—and it was SO worth it! Summer strolls by the lake with fresh air and soothing views make for the perfect healing day trip. The full loop is beginner-friendly with minimal elevation—ideal for unwinding! ✨ ​​🚌 Transit Guide​​ ​​From Downtown:​​ Take ​​SkyTrain Millennium Line​​ to Moody Centre Station Transfer to ​​Bus 182​​ → Get off at 📍Anmore Grocery (~30min) Pro Tip: This small grocery is your last chance to grab snacks (yes, even instant noodles! 🍜). Stock up before entering the trailhead via the route shown in Photo 2. ⚠️ ​​Heads Up:​​ Bus frequency is LOW—check ​​TransLink​​ schedules/text alerts! If you miss it, your only option is a taxi 🚕 back. Summer weekends may offer ​​Bus 179​​ direct to the parking lot. ​​🥾 Trail Details (10km Loop, ~3.5-4 hours)​​ ​​Route (Counterclockwise):​​ Start at the ​​floating bridge​​ (so Instagrammable! 📸) Continue to ​​South Beach​​ (popular spot for swimming & pics) Follow the ​​east shore​​—lush forests & rushing streams (adventure vibes! 🌿) Reach the ​​suspension bridge​​ at the north end (midpoint! 🎉) Return via the ​​west shore​​—rocky paths with epic lake views 🏞️ Exit near the floating bridge → backtrack to the bus stop. ​​🌿 Scenic Comparison​​ 🏖️ ​​South Beach:​​ Crowded but perfect for swimming, sunbathing & photos 🌲 ​​East Shore:​​ Wild, dense greenery with a "lost in nature" feel ⛰️ ​​West Shore:​​ More elevation changes, stunning rock formations & panoramic views ​​🎒 Must-Pack List​​ 👟 ​​Footwear:​​ Grippy hiking shoes + quick-dry clothes 💧 ​​Hydration:​​ 1L+ water (NO refill spots!) 🍌 ​​Snacks:​​ Nuts, bananas, energy bars for quick fuel ☀️ ​​Weather Prep:​​ Sunscreen OR a lightweight rain jacket 🚽 ​​Restrooms:​​ Only at South Beach—plan accordingly! 📍 ​​Location:​​ Buntzen Lake, Anmore ​​Calling all adventurers!​​ 🗣️ Have you hiked this loop?
