Reviews of Forbidden Plateau (Tourist Attraction)

Quiet

This was a fantastic place to go sledding. Be aware there are no washrooms or shelters. Just an old ski hill beside a road, but there is a small lot, and if you get there early enough you will find decent parking close to the hill. There are smaller hills at the base, perfect for kids/parents who don't want to trek up the hillside, but there are longer runs too. A narrow one straight up from where you park and one to the right, through a wide trail. It got busier as the day progressed. We saw lots of cross country skiers, a snow boarder, and quite a few people snowshoeing. It was a bit foggy that day, but was told the views are spectacular on clear days.

Great rec area

Fun climb, gorgeous views, delicious wild blue berries when in season. If you don't exercise often, I don't recommend. I saw girls crying on the way up. Other than that it was wonderful.

True raw beauty. And close enough to take the others along. ????

Former site of Forbidden Plateau Ski Resort, with ruins and remains of the abandoned lodge and ski lifts. Forbidden Plateau itself is actually at the top of the old ski runs and can only be accessed by hiking up the old ski runs. A beautiful place with great parking. Note: photos not mine, but credits would be appreciated.

Graded stone road, washboard in spots. A car can handle it. Great vista's on the way

C Thiblet

it's a little out of the way and mostly you just go for tobogganing but it's a beautiful view of the ocean while sliding down the hill :)

Kevin Stav

Nice mountain but not much up there

Tamme Laplante

Went for a hike on mother's Day. Did not expect to find snow! Weather was warm and the snow kept us cool. What a perfect hike. Went for a hike on mother's Day. Did not expect to find snow! Weather was warm and the snow kept us cool. What a perfect hike.

SHREY SANGAL

There is nothing here, no road, no public spots, its mostly a new residential neighborhood.

Michael Hinz-Berg

Cool place for a hike or a bike...

Jeff Nicholls

This area is now for hiking and snowshoeing. The ski part closed down about 30 years now.

Owen Stevens

Beware in the winter there's hella people and hella ice don't crash

Phillip Humphrey

Great place to go on trails in all seasons, bring tire chains in winter.

Great spot to camp without paying "the man". Though you'll probably wake up to a whole lot of hikers.

There's nothing here. I don't think this is the forbidden plateau. Editing as per response below. Kinda wish I knew this before I went!

So peaceful and beautiful here

Wonderful alpine hiking with some great views.

Richard Manton

Amazing scenery, and great access trails. I proposed to my Fiancee here and the pictures turned out amazing.

Desmond Hedderson

This is a beautiful place to start out a day hike or to push further into strathcona park. We did some snowshoeing here and it was quite beautiful.

Joseph Crapo

Great hiking and snowshoeing.

Bruno Conti Rossini

(Translated) a strange place, with a promising name, but dotted with the ruins of ski resorts, downed chairlift poles ... basically a kind of ghost ski resort, where nature has not yet had time to cover the remains of abandoned human activities. (Original) uno strano luogo, dal nome promettente, ma costellato di rovine di impianti sciistici, pali di seggiovie abbattuti... in pratica una specie di stazione sciistica fantasma, dove la natura non ha ancora fatto in tempo a ricoprire i resti delle attività umane abbandonate.

So much fun, beautiful

Eric Christensen

Came backcountry skiing here. It's a good way to access Strathcona park, particularly if you're headed to mt. Becher.

Pavlína Bohadlová

Spacious, tree covered spots, nice views, plenty hikes around, but mainly a legendary customer service and friendly approach!! Definitely coming for a winter experience as well! Thanks a lot, Mack!!

Shawn Wilson

Great hike with amazing views. It gets fairly snowy during the winter making it more difficult. It's not the hardest hike but it can get fairly steep in parts, small children up to your discretion.

Shawn Wolansky

Absolutely amazing scenery and hiking

Justin Smith

Great hiking a 4x4ing

NEETHU BABY

Awesome

FireBoy666

Bit of a party spot but there’s som great views and it’s really accessible.

Horia Dumbraveanu

A beautiful and quiet place, when we visited in September. As I understand it's a bit crowded in the first 2km, and than the trail gets quieter.

Barb Maisonneuve

Was great finding old abandoned pieces of the closed down ski resort.

Peter M

A great place to go snowshoeing in the winter. Make sure your have 4 wheel or all wheel drive to get to the parking lot.

Kyle Leyenda

Legendary Spot to go adventure and 4x4

Nick Pizza

This is great. We stayed over at the Camping Resort run by Mack. He's super chill and super friendly. Hikes seem great but the mountain biking looks outstanding. We just did the hiking tho. Really cool spot, worth checking out.

April Bay

Super pretty hard to get to if you don't own a 4 wheel drive vehicle

Erik Petersen

Great View!

Jon Parkhill

John Hunter

Blueberries salmon berries huckleberry and whiskyjacks

Alex Osborne

Amazing views! Tough hike but worth it

Faye B.

Accessible walking with longer duration options (lots of boardwalk). Beautiful alpine meadow & lots of wild flowers. Incredibly busy on the weekend and the boardwalks feel a little skinny, especially during covid times!
