This spectacular glacial lake is circled by Wedgemount and Armchair Glaciers. Wedge Mountain, 2,891 metres, the highest peak in the park, lies to the south.
(Topographical map 92.J.2 1:50,000)There is one major trail in this area of Garibaldi Park:
Parking lot to Wedgemount Lake - Length, 7 km; suggested time, 4 to 6 hours one way; elevation change, 1,200 metres. The upper part of the trail provides a view of a waterfall where Wedgemount Creek tumbles down for almost 300 metres in a white spray. The last part of the trail meanders over a boulder strewn slope. Camping is permitted at the northwest end of the lake. There is a hut there with no amenities and a pit toilet. This is a popular destination for mountaineers.
