Stage 4 of the Rockwall Trail covers 9.3 km from Numa Creek to Floe Lake, with 802 m of ascent and 306 m of descent. The highest point is 2,335 m. Allow about 4.5 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Parks Canada backcountry campground (about 18 tent pads, dry toilets, picnic tables, food lockers) on the shore of Floe Lake below the Rockwall, the most sought-after site on the trail. Parks Canada books it only from 10 July; there is no overflow camping, so you need a reservation; no campfires.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap or in guides but could not be checked on an official page. On the trail you may camp only at the Parks Canada backcountry campground named on your permit. Every night must be reserved in advance; random camping is not allowed and there is no overflow camping at Floe Lake.
