Green Lake is a vividly turquoise body of water just north of Whistler, its color resulting from glacial silt. Visitors can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, and canoeing on calm waters, or simply relax on the shore and take in panoramic views of surrounding peaks. The lake is also a popular spot for photographers, especially at sunrise and sunset when the light reflects off the water. A walking trail along the eastern shore offers easy access for strolling and wildlife viewing.

Don't miss

  • Paddle a kayak or stand-up paddleboard on the turquoise water
  • Photograph the lake with Mount Currie in the background
  • Walk the easy Green Lake Loop Trail for shoreline views
