Lost Lake was formed when glaciers retreated from the valley, leaving behind a buried block of ice. After the ice melted, a circular depression was created that filled with water, forming a so-called kettle lake.

Tucked in the forest just outside Whistler Village, Lost Lake is a beautiful, quiet spot surrounded by tall evergreens and mountain views. It’s a popular spot for swimming and paddleboarding in summer, with trails around its perimeter perfect for hiking and biking. In winter, the area transforms into a snowy network of cross-country ski and snowshoe trails, offering a quiet escape just minutes from town.
