Sunday Funday!

Today we went to a fave spot on a hot sunny day... Brohm Lake! Never heard of it?....Good! Hahaaa just kidding, I'll let you in on the secret spot...

Perfect Day!
Just past Squamish on the Sea to Sky Highway, Brohm Lake is located a little further up from the Cat Lake turn-off. You can see part of the lake from the highway, and it has a small parking lot so get there early unless you're stuck with having to park further down on the highway was walking alongside it! We showed up around 11am and there were lots of spots, pretty good for a Sunday.

Trail Map!
The "beach" is comprised of mostly big rocks, trees, and shrubs so don't be bringing anything too outrageous, just basic beach stuff since the walk in can be a little tricky if you have tons of stuff. There's a couple pit toilets too near the parking lot which is handy.

If you enjoy cliff jumping, you'll love Brohm! There are also a number of rope swings around the lake which I've never personally tried, but watched people go off them. Lots of people bring floaties and just hang out in there all day... the lake is filled with them! The lake is also filled with dogs, so be aware that they will be running loose and will probably shake off on your blankets/towels. At the parking lot, there's a trail map (see pic on the left) of a bunch of hiking trails that I haven't tried yet, but want to do in the future! Good mix of people at the lake, mostly young people. Wouldn't recommend this lake for little kids, since the large rocks are steep, unstable and potentially dangerous.

Check it out! Just don't steal my parking spot...
