Essentials about the Lost Lagoon in brief

When you enter Stanley Park from Downtown Vancouver, the first thing you see is the Lost Lagoon. This is an artificial lake covering almost 17 hectares, which is particularly popular with birdwatchers and walkers.

A walk around the Lost Lagoon

A 1.8 kilometer long path leads around the Lost Lagoon, where you can enjoy great views of Downtown Vancouver and especially discover and observe lots of birds. The Lost Lagoon is a popular breeding ground for many bird species in the middle of the city. Swans, Canadian geese, various duck species and the Canadian heron cavort here. Even turtles have settled here.

The Lost Lagoon was originally a tidal body of water. The tide coming in from Coal Harbour filled the lagoon, and at low tide it emptied again. It was not until the construction of the causeway running through Stanley Park in the 1920s that the Lost Lagoon became a self-contained lake. Since 1936, the so-called Jubilee Fountain has stood in the middle of the lake, built to mark the 100th anniversary of the city of Vancouver.
