The Middle Lake hiking trail begins immediately from the parking lot. Where you see two trails leading away from the parking lot, the one on the right is the Middle Lake hike. The first steps of the Middle Lake trail lead you through an open meadow with just a few trees. This open environment provides amazing 360-degree views of the surrounding Kananaskis mountains, including Yates, Twin Towers, Engagement mountain, Doorjam, Loder, and Yamnuska. The open meadow is a perfect location for crocus to bloom in early spring. Also, watch for subtlety beautiful Potentilla flowers later in the hiking season.
