🌊 Vancouver's Must-Visit Summer Lake Escape 🚣💙​​

📍 ​​Sasamat Lake​​ Located in Port Moody, BC (set GPS to White Pine Beach) Ample paid parking available 🅿️ This hidden gem is perfectly situated - not too far from the city, yet feels like a world away✨ The day we visited, the crowd was just right - peaceful without being empty, with great parking, full cell service, a handy snack shack, and clean washrooms. Absolute summer dream vibes ☀️ 🚶 ​​Lake Loop Trail​​ The 1-hour beginner-friendly trail is pure joy - scenic water views at every turn, making the walk feel like a therapy session 🌿💆♀️ We spotted swimmers and divers (no lifeguards on duty though!) 🏊♂️ The trail's gentle elevation keeps it interesting without being exhausting. ⚠️ ​​Tip:​​ The sandy beach and grassy areas are compact - arrive early on weekends to snag prime picnic spots before the crowds roll in 🧺🌞 🍉 ​​Summer Essentials​​ Bring your swimsuit (water's refreshing!) Pack a picnic blanket & snacks Don't forget sunscreen & bug spray 🦟 Camera ready - every angle is Instagrammable 📸 #lakesidevibes #vanlife #summergetaway #natureheals #weekendvibes #portmoody #outdoortherapy #canadiansummer #hikingcanada #waterlovers
