Lost Lake Park is very important to Whistler's constant attraction; it compliments the mountain during both summer and winter seasons as it offers compelling alternatives to the slopes. The trail system within the park serves as a popular transportation link as it is connected to the Nature Valley Trail.
Lost Lake Park During the Winter
During the wintertime, the Park serves as the cross-country skiing & snow-shoeing hub of Whistler Blackcomb. Trails of all levels snake throughout the park's boundaries to provide an accommodating experience to all cross-country skiers and snow-shoers alike. The Lost Lake Loop Trail is most popular for snow-shoeing & cross country skiing as it circles the lake and is relatively easy to complete. This trail is 32 km in length and offers views of both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain. Other popular trails include: Vimy Ridge, Hydro Hill, Poler's Road, Tin Pants, and Les' Leap.
Lost Lake Park During the Summer
A summer hot-spot featuring countless ways to enjoy your day. Trails which used to be dedicated to snow-shoeing and cross country skiing are now used for hiking, rollerblading, mountain-biking, and dog walking.
Guests looking to cool off will be happy to hear that there are two separate beaches along its shores. The primary beach near the parking lot is the larger of the two and features barbeque pits, picnic tables, washrooms, and an off-shore dock.
Guests wanting to visit the second beach should head west down the Lost Lake Loop until they reach the small sandy area with a newly built dock. This beach can be seen in the distance from the primary beach making it easy to find. Be warned however, the second beach is clothing optional which might not be ideal for families with children. Families should also be cautioned that there are no active lifeguards; therefore parents should be prepared to keep a keen eye on their children.
Parking at Lost Lake
There is a parking lot; however it is often too crowded due to its small size. Guests are recommended to park in the Village Day Lots and simply walk down to the park.
Although some of Whistler's amenities are only a brisk 5 minute walk away, the towering evergreen trees of Lost Lake Park impede the outside world and provide a sense of tranquility & seclusion. This seclusion is what makes Lost Lake Park a perfect place for family photos & portraits.
