A very nice walk to lake with very little elevation change. Clean restrooms at the lake. Fantastic views of the surrounding mountains.

We went just after a major snowfall but were able to walk along mostly groomed areas until we ventured on a branch off trail. We made our own trail through all the snow and it was worth it. Absolutely beautiful around the lake and in the deep woods. Dress in good boots or waterproof hiking shoes and you’ll be fine.

Snow shoe trail was well organized. the final point was the Lost lake. The view was very good as the lake was fully frozen. The trail path is well demarcated.

Awesome views here and the water was refreshing. If you follow the path to the right of the main beach you can reach a large dock that is a clothing optional area. It is perfect for those who want to really connect with nature, but far enough away to not be weird for others. 100% would recommend.

Beautiful lake with what looks like a great swimming area in nice weather. There is a warming shack to use in the winter and Washroom facilities.

Pretty place with nice wide trails. Went in drizzle and it wasn't muddy. Lots of birds to see all around trail and some ducks in the lake. Encountered a couple of dogs off leash which reduced the enjoyment.

A great place for a walk around the lake. No parking at the lake, so we parked in a near by neighbourhood. Paved and gravel paths, easy access to the beach and benches all around if you need a rest.

I am a morning person and go for walks and swims every day before work, and keep it up while on vacation!!
This was an amazing walk… I did the loop around the lake and I also did a morning dip in the refreshing water from one dock to the other and back again. Water was not warm, but not cold: I call it refreshing/ perfect. There was only one other person around first thing in AM.
Whole trip was a little longer than my usual at @ almost 2 hours return trip to Whistler village.
Tip: rinse off at the outdoor shower after being in the water so you don’t get itchy!!
Also: watch for black bears… we met one on the path and waiting until they were well into their snacking before we passed… quickly and loudly asp they weren’t startled by us…

Is this place wheelchair accessible? I wanted to take my mother here who can barely walk. What are my options?

I would say no. It is a very long journey and it is all dirt path. Much of it is not smooth. There are inclines and places where the wheelchair would probably just take off downhill. There would not be much to see from her level either. The trees obscure much of the lake as it is so anyone shorter than about 5 feet would see even less. It is more of a trek/hike than a trip to see a lake. You get peeks of the lake through the trees and you cannot get anywhere close to the lake. There is no where to sit down either. If you go without her, unless you are prepared for a very - I mean very long and exhausting trip back, go back exactly the way you came.

There are maps available at the Whistler tourist office that show how to walk to the entrance. There are sidewalks so it's safe and easy. There are lots of trails in the woods around the lake so you could spend a few hours exploring, including on snowshoes in winter.
