Lost Lake

Highlight • Lake

Tucked in the forest just outside Whistler Village, Lost Lake is a beautiful, quiet spot surrounded by tall evergreens and mountain views. It’s a popular spot for swimming and paddleboarding in summer, with trails around its perimeter perfect for hiking and biking. In winter, the area transforms into a snowy network of cross-country ski and snowshoe trails, offering a quiet escape just minutes from town.

Green Lake

Highlight • Lake

Green Lake is the largest lake in the Whistler region. To the north, it is the source of the Green River, which drains into the Lillooet River. Green Lake was formed during the last Ice Age, when sediment was deposited in the U-shaped valley, forming lake basins. The lake's green color is due to the glacial silt of Fitzsimmons Creek.
From the wooden boardwalk on the southwest shore, we have a magnificent view of the lake and the seaplane landing. In the background, we can see the peaks of the Garibaldi Range, from Wedge Mountain to Mount Currie, including Mount Weart with the Armchair Glacier.

May 25, 2025,🇨🇦 BC Whistler - Green Lake Loop
The town of Whistler lies in a broad basin at an elevation of approximately 700 meters; the area is a pass whose northern part drains into the Lillooet River via the Green River and into the Cheakamus River in the south. To the east lie the glaciated mountains of the Garibaldi Ranges, which drain into both watersheds.
