Overlander Mountain Lodge

Highlight • Rest Area

Overlander Mountain Lodge sits just outside Jasper National Park's East Gate, with cabins and lodge rooms, and sweeping views of the Canadian Rockies from anywhere on the property. It's surrounded by over 25 kilometres of hiking trails, including a 10 km route to the Brule Lake dunes and the longer Folding Mountain Trail. Its location just outside the park's East Gate makes it a natural hub for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the longer trails and backcountry routes in the area.

Brewery Access Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Brewery Access Trail is a straightforward route connecting Overlander Mountain Lodge to the nearby Folding Mountain Brewing, making it a popular choice for hikers looking to pair a walk through the forested foothills with a well-earned lunch and a locally brewed pint. The brewery is just a stone's throw from the lodge, with views of the surrounding mountains along the way. It's a casual, accessible outing that works well as a warm-up before tackling longer trails in the area.

Brule Lake trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Despite its name, the Brule Lake trail doesn’t actually lead to Brule Lake; instead, it’s a wide, open dirt road that runs through a picturesque open area in the forest, starting at the Overlander Mountain Lodge, and is a shared path with off-road vehicles. Most of the trail offers little shade, so plenty of water and sun protection are a must before you head out to explore this area. There is a side trail that branches off toward Wildhorse Lake, which is a fantastic detour if you’re looking to extend your hike. The trail is open year-round and is popular for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, and you’ll likely see plenty of wildlife and beautiful wildflowers in the spring and summer.
