Elsay Lake is behind Mt Seymour and sometimes involves an interesting creek crossing. There's an "emergency shelter" at the far end of the lake. This is not a location where you expect to find crowds; so much so that there are signs of recent campfires (though generally forbidden in Provincial Parks).

There are stories that Seymour is accessible by TranSlink. If so, this makes the trip somewhat open-ended for the number of people who can come.

If you get bored while up there, an interesting variation is to return on the clockwise side of the lake, where the trail is not. You may end up crossing interesting avalanche debris which may have come down from Mt Elsay.

This is a good destination for a semi-Ninja (meaning you don't have an assigned camping pad and you don't have to pay) camping trip.
