Rice Lake

In North Vancouver, Rice Lake is a lovely lake where you may go for walks and go fishing. The Seymour Demonstration Forest and Lynn Canyon Park are nearby. Fishing is excellent on Rice Lake in the spring and fall. The lake is not open to boats of any type, although there is a nice dock that is popular for fishing, and some people also cast from the shore.

Two rainbow trout are allowed per person per day in the lake. You must catch and release the remaining fish after you have caught and kept two.

The area around Rice Lake is ideal for relaxed treks. A pleasant (and simple) walk can be had around the lake on a very level trail. The distance can be completed in between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your pace and whether you take breaks to take in the scenery. Since there is a lot of shade, the walks around the lake are pleasant and cool in the summer, and unlike Vancouver's many parks with deciduous trees, the vista is never depressing in the winter. Every day of the year, or at least when it's not pouring rain, it's a beautiful spot.
