When you arrive at the reservoir on the side of the Mattmark restaurant, you should definitely walk a short distance along the east side to the tunnel and cross it. In winter, a beautiful waterfall forms at the entrance and icicles hang from the ceiling inside too

The tunnel is on the right and is the beginning of the hiking trail around the lake. The trail is officially closed in winter.
