Como Lake is a small, peaceful lake located in Como Lake Park in the city of Coquitlam, British Columbia. It's a popular spot for people to relax and enjoy nature.
This lake is very important because it's the starting point for the Como watershed. A watershed is an area of land where all the water drains into one main body of water, like a lake or river. Como Lake is a great place for fishing and other fun outdoor activities right in the city of Coquitlam and the larger Lower Mainland area.
Fun at the Lake
Como Lake is a favorite place for people who love to exercise outdoors. Many joggers and walkers enjoy the trail that goes all the way around the lake. This trail is about 1 kilometer (or 0.6 miles) long. It's a perfect distance for a quick walk or run!
Fishing and Wildlife
If you enjoy fishing, Como Lake is a good spot to try your luck. The lake is regularly stocked with small rainbow trout. This means new fish are added to the lake so there are always enough for anglers. Besides trout, you might also find carp and catfish living in the lake. It's a great way to spend a quiet afternoon trying to catch some fish.
