Use the Hargreaves/Toboggan connection above the Berg Lake shore. The published loop can be entered near Marmot campground or from the Toboggan Creek side of Berg Lake campground. Climb toward the Hargreaves Lake lookout for elevated views of the lake, glacier and surrounding peaks, then follow the signed connection toward Toboggan Falls and return to the lakeside trail. The commonly described 6 km loop includes both Hargreaves and Toboggan; a direct out-and-back to one viewpoint is a different outing. Do not add the Mumm Basin connection merely to complete a loop without checking its separate damage and closure information.

From Highway 16, turn into the signed Mount Robson park entrance near the Welcome Centre and follow Kinney Lake Road about 2.3 km to the road-end Berg Lake Trail parking. This is the vehicle access for the whole Berg Lake corridor. The waterfall and upper-basin destinations have no separate road approach. First hike the main corridor to a reserved upper campground near Berg Lake. The side-trip distances on this record begin in that upper area and exclude the much longer approach from the road.
Driving access has not been established for this selected route option; check its original sources.

The lookout route rises above the lakeshore into exposed terrain. Snow can cover junctions and wet rock can make the steeper sections slippery. Check both the main corridor and individual side-trail advisories before leaving camp.
From May 4, 2026, BC Parks prohibits watercraft and wading equipment throughout Mount Robson Park waters to limit aquatic disease spread. This includes powered and unpowered craft, inflatables, wading clothing and boots. The hiking trails are not closed by this notice.

Overnight stays belong in designated Berg Lake Trail campgrounds, on tent pads or other established sites. Reserve the selected campground during the peak booking season; a day-hike visit does not provide a camping reservation. The corridor has a permanent campfire ban, and water must be treated. Dogs are not allowed on overnight trips. This is a day excursion from the upper campgrounds; no designated camp was verified at the Hargreaves viewpoint.
