Alta Lake & Rainbow Park
Alta Lake
The largest lake in Whistler Valley. Rainbow Park’s shore faces Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, making it a good spot for stand-up paddling and watching sunsets.
Alta Lake lies southwest of Whistler Village. Rainbow Park on the west shore has sand, grass, a dock and historic log cabins. It is the local favorite for summer swimming and picnics, and from the lake you can see both ski mountains at once. Stand-up paddleboards and canoes can be rented at the lake, and you can also paddle from Alta Lake along the River of Golden Dreams to Green Lake. It is about a 15-minute bike ride from the village, and buses run in summer.
