Pink Lake Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

A scenic lookout over Pink Lake, which is a meromictic lake. The surface of the waters are a deep green during the month of August and September due to the abundance of algae in the water.

Pink Lake

Highlight • Lake

The lake isn't actually pink; it's named after the Pink family who settled the land in 1826. In truth, the lake is often green with algae, because the caldera-like basin protects the lake from winds. Thus the upper and lower waters never mix, meaning the bottom of the lake has no oxygen and anything down there never decays. Interpretive plaques along the trail explain the lake's unique geography, history, and flora and fauna.

Picnic tables and outhouses are near the parking lot, which are always open but you can only access by car on Wednesdays. There are shuttle busses on other days, check the Gatineau Parc website for the schedule.
