About Miller Lake, British Columbia, Canada
Miller Lake is a breathtaking body of water situated high in the rugged alpine of Mount Revelstoke National Park in British Columbia, Canada. It provides hikers with stunning mountain views and seemingly unreal aqua blue glacial water. It has several outcroppings and rock islands that protrude out into the water allowing for a great place to stop and have lunch in order to refuel for the next section of your hiking journey. Unless of course, Miller Lake is your final destination, then you can stop and enjoy the fruits of your labor and take in the incredible scenery. If you do choose to continue onward then another phenomenal place to visit is Eva Lake, which is about 30 minutes or an 0.8 km hike from Miller Lake.

History of Miller Lake
Adventurer, explorer, and school inspector A.E. Miller was a pioneer when it comes to exploring the park. He helped to spread the word about Mount Revelstoke’s beauty by writing articles in the Revelstoke newspaper. Miller Lake was named in his honor.
The geology of the lake was formed by a glacier that disappeared after the last ice age leaving behind the extraordinary blue lake you see today.
