full lake circuit
A substantial forest loop circles Morfee Lake, with connections to beaches, the narrows and a separate Morfee Falls branch. It is a longer walk than a quick visit to the waterfront.
1. Getting there and parking
The loop can be entered from Morfee Lake Road near the campground or from Morfee Mountain Road. For the latter, go north 2.1 km from McIntyre Drive on Mackenzie Boulevard, turn right onto Morfee Mountain Road and continue 1.7 km to the second bridge. The path starts on the right before the bridge; use a suitable pullout without blocking road access. Choose the entry before planning distance, because campground and road starts join different parts of the circuit.
Parking: For the Mountain Road entrance, travel 2.1 km north from McIntyre Drive on Mackenzie Boulevard, turn right and continue 1.7 km to the second bridge. Use a pullout clear of the bridge and road.
2. Walking the route
Follow the perimeter route around the lake, using the local map to stay on the lake circuit at branch junctions. From the Morfee Mountain Road start, a right branch to the narrows appears after about 3 km. Continue past it to the next junction: keep right for the perimeter loop, while the left branch leaves for Morfee Falls. Forest sections include exposed roots and rock, and the falls approach is a separate wet hillside extension. Published lake-loop lengths are approximately 15–15.8 km; adding the waterfall visit increases the outing. Return to your original entrance rather than following a beach access that ends at a different parking area.
- Enter the perimeter path on the right before the bridge.
- After about 3 km, stay left past the right-hand narrows spur.
- A few hundred metres later, take the right branch to remain on the lake circuit; left leaves toward Morfee Falls.
The return
Continue only with the full perimeter map available and return to the original entrance. The published loop is about 15 km; the falls branch adds distance and is not part of the basic circuit.

The hosted map shows about 15.7 km around Morfee Lake, including an eastern side spur. This much longer circuit is distinct from the direct Morfee Falls return; overlapping paths do not make the outings interchangeable.
