I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the trail is like, because I'd like to take a canoe there if i was able to.
thanks.

You can get a canoe up there, but only if you are determined and crazy. Would not recommend it.

[Peter7288]

Sounds like its gunna be a fun hike! haha

It's a short hike but a steep one. Usually takes me around 45 minutes or so to get there but it would be a lot harder carrying any sort of boat. I would recommend an inflatable if possible.

thanks for the heads up, i'll figure something out!

Don't bother with the canoe, a tube is much easier.  try the far end of the lake by the inlet.

Don't attempt with the canoe is my advice!!! 

If you don't have a tube try a 3-person raft.  Makes for a very comfy day on the water for one person not so much for two.

Don't forget paddles, pump, and patch kit.

thanks everyone for the advice!

Gin clear water and cold brrrrrr, use long leaders, 15ft minimum.

My first rainbow trout on a dry fly was at Lindeman Lake.  I still have the photo, taken about 1965.  A full 7 “and was next morning’s breakfast! After a few days at Lindeman we hiked up to Greendrop, which back then was wilderness; no trails, just windfalls.  I remember both lakes as jewels, with pikas, bears, blue grouse, and a dug out canoe at Lindeman. 
Great to read it still inspires people like it did me

and leave the canoe at home trust me

Forget the canoe. It's not a long hike, but it's steep in places, and if you fall you could get hurt . Best to take a belly boat , then pump it up when you get there. In the the 1960s we hiked up to lindeman , then greendrop then flora in one day,and came back the same day. From lindeman to green drop, it's a nice trail , but from green drop to flora it was steeper, and a lot of windfalls . Floras  is a beautifull lake And has the best fishing. Rainbows to 5lbs. There's a better trail to flora now, from green drop. You can also hike from the start of chilliwack lake Over the ridge  and down into flora lake, which is shorter, but steeper. keep an eye out for bears , make lots a noise .  Good luck
