A free shuttle bus runs from downtown to Lost Lake. You can also walk there which is about 20 min. It was a hot weekend day when we were there. There were a lot of people with picnic bags and well, quite similar but it was a great atmosphere. The water is refreshing and certainly not as cold as the other lakes. It is also shallow so fine for small children. It is not really sandy but rather some small pebbles.

Lost lake is a must visit for people who loves nature and hikes. Its not very touristy hence the crowd and noise is less. It's half an hour walk from whistle village . The trail around the lake is a good walk for nature lovers. It's one of the easiest trail in Whistler BC Canada.

We took the shuttle over. It’s free in the summers and is a smaller van/bus than the buses that take you between the villages. It’s a very nice area. There are trails and picnic tables. The water is very cold but people were in it and also kayaking and paddle boarding. Could definitely bring out some drinks and snacks/lunch and spend a bit here.

I discovered the Lost lake by luck and chance whilst walking around Whistler on my first day. I found Austria House where crampons, snow shoes and cross country skis can be rented. I rented a set of crampons and went out on an adventure to the lake. It was simply beautiful!

Whistler Lake, without a doubt! Here the inhabitants and holidaymakers come to swim and relax in the summer, there is a splendid path that goes around the lake and can be traveled by bike or on foot. It has a small car park but if you are lucky like us you might find a space. Watch out for bears!!

We walked along the river from Whistler Village and it took us about 20 minutes to get to Lost Lake Park. It was a lovely walk through the woods to get to the lake and there was some nice places to sit by the beach. Part of the walk was closed but we still managed to walk around the lake.

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…

Visitors to Whistler should take the time to walk round “Lost Lake”. It’s very close to the village and is a really peaceful and pretty place. There are a few information boards explaining the geology etc, which I found interesting too!

We walked the loop of lost lake, then rented bikes and were able to then continue to Green lake. This is such a beautiful area for riding and walking. Mountain bikes were awesome and trails were well maintained.

This gem of a lake is adjacent to the Whistler golf course. It is a beautiful lake with lovely clear blue water. It can get quite crowded in the summers with the bathers but there are shaded areas to sit and relax. It makes for a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of Whistler village

Is this place wheelchair accessible? I wanted to take my mother here who can barely walk. What are my options?
Written June 12, 2016
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.

merci
Written December 28, 2015
how do you get to the lost lake without a car from the whistler village? How long is needed there to explore?
thanks
Written March 27, 2015
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.
