The first and longest and largest lake in the Valley of 5 Lakes, however, you can only see the extent of the lake on the big loop.

On the hike through the Valley of the Five Lakes, First Lake is the largest lake and is over a kilometre long. The trail along the lake runs above the lake shore at an elevation of about 1,100 meters. To the east rises Whistlers Peak and some distance to the north are the peaks of the Victoria Cross Ranges and to the south of the Maligne Range.
