Alta Lake is gorgeous!! A little chilly for swimming, but refreshing! If you have a paddleboard / kayak/ canoe etc....its a great lake for it! We went to Rainbow park to enter this part of Alta Lake. There is also a great Crepe stand to check out!

Just 10-15 minutes from Whistler village, this is a Great Lake for canoeing/kayaking. The beach is very small and not very clean for children to play. But the lake view and the mountains surrounding are gorgeous. Boat rental is at the entrance beside the beach with reasonable price.

We’ve been here with our two kids. Very beautiful! Those mountains all around... simply breathtaking. There are washrooms and there was a food truck where people could buy delicious ice cream. Parking spot was full but many parked at the side of the street. Right in front of the entrance to the lake is a drop of area. That’s awesome if you have to park far away

Great. Went paddleboarding and had fun. Parking fills up quick. Definitely worth checking out if in the area. Watch the wind if you're paddleboarding because it is a struggle coming back against it.

Beautiful lake. Originally named summit, Alta Lake was renamed to avoid confusion with the many other Summit Lakes in British Columbia. The name is derived from the Spanish for "high up" or "upper". The lake's southern end is the divide between the basins of the green and Cheakamus river. Neighbourhoods around the lake include Alta lake, the original community in this area (now referred to as "Westside"), Alta Vista and Whistler Cay Estates. At the north end of the lake the original site of Rainbow Lodge preserves some cabins that were part of that rustic resort, and a municipally run ecological preserve which extends up the wetlands of the river of golden dreams (aka Alta Creek), which leads to green lake. A wayside park, formerly a provincial park and now municipally run is located near the south end of the lake.
