Lindeman Lake

Lindeman Lake is a popular day-hike near the Chilliwack Lake area that follows a route uphill along Post Creek before reaching the very scenic mountain lake. The trailhead is located in a parking lot about 1km before Chilliwack Lake on the left of the road and hikers can access the much further Greendrop Lake or Flora Lake from Lindeman Lake. From the parking lot area, follow the trail into the forest and walk down the dirt access road. To the right of Post Creek is a sign pointing the way to Lindeman and Greendrop Lakes. Follow this trail as it heads into the trees for a short distance before starting to ascend. The trail climbs up the well defined route and over some rocky sections before reaching a metal bridge at the half-kilometer mark. Walk across the bridge and over Post Creek before continuing the uphill hike.

Just past the 1km mark, you will see a rockslide that fell many years ago. The trail also passes a huge boulder as the uphill climbs at a gentler pace. Another short distance and you've reached the first viewpoint from the south end of Lindeman Lake. Continue along the west side of Lindeman Lake to a clearing with a small wooden dock, which provide one of the best views of the lake.

The area around the wooden dock offers the best location to end your hike however, for those inclined to continue to Greendrop Lake, continue along the trail towards a boulder field. Watch your step as you traverse the large rocks. Once at the 4km mark, cross over a couple of log bridges and it's only another half hour to Greendrop Lake.

After enjoying Lindeman Lake, follow the trail back down hill from the south end of the lake, passes the large boulder and crossing the metal bridge over Post Creek. Watch your step as you walk over the rocks and before long, the trail levels. Go left and walk the final section back to the parking lot.
