Guskewau Lake is a peaceful backcountry lake nestled right along the Western Uplands Backpacking Trail. Located roughly four kilometres from the main trailhead, it’s a picturesque and popular spot with day hikers and a first overnight stop for backpackers heading out on a longer trek. The lake water is clear, and the surrounding forest is dense, with secluded backcountry campsites complete with tent spaces and fire pits.
