About Alouette Lake
Alouette Lake is a shore-entry freshwater dive in Golden Ears Park, east of Vancouver, known among local divers for cleanup dives and submerged tree stumps. It is a cold-water lake site with modest scenery, trout and salmonid sightings, and active surface recreation nearby, so plan it as a self-sufficient local training or conservation dive rather than a scenic destination.
