Looking forward to summer hiking opening up in Whistler as the mountain trails emerge from the deep winter snow? Check out our Whistler hiking guide for June! Escape to the wilderness and rent gear today at WeRentGear Whistler.
Green Lake is stunning, vivid turquoise coloured lake just north of Whistler Village. The Sea to Sky Highway runs along the edge of the lake for most of its length, giving you excellent view of its stunning colour surrounded by thick forests rising up to mountains. Along the highway there is a nice pull-out viewpoint that gives you a fantastic view of Green Lake, Wedge Mountain, Blackcomb Mountain and Whistler Mountain beyond.

There is a small neighbourhood with houses lining the shore of Green Lake near the highway. Tucked into this neighbourhood is a very small, easy to miss park right on the waterfront. Green Lake Park is a small section of land along the shore of this beautiful lake. Squeezed between two houses, the park looks like a vacant lot where a house would have been built. Instead of a house there is a small building with washrooms and a nice little forest with picnic tables. The rocky shore is perfect for launching a canoe and there is a public storage area for canoes and kayaks. Green Lake Park is directly across from Parkhurst Ghost Town, a derelict old logging town long abandoned. The ghost town is easy to spot with its abandoned log loader perched on the edge of the lake, almost directly across from the park. This huge, very solid metal machine that looks somewhat like a tractor has been sitting there for several decades. Looking like a museum piece, this beautiful piece of history marks the entrance to Parkhurst if you are arriving by boat. A trail cuts through the bushes, crosses the train tracks, then ascends up a short hill into the forest where you will find many collapsed houses, one still standing and dozens of interesting curiosities. There is a hiking and biking trail to Parkhurst, but paddling across the Green Lake from Green Lake Park is the easiest and nicest way to get there.
Green Lake Park is officially just this small, forested area of waterfront, however, locals generally include the nearby boat launch as Green Lake Park as well. Just a couple hundred metres away, adjacent to the highway is the Green Lake boat launch. Here you will find a nice L-shaped pier with a similarly gorgeous views. There is another public, pay-to-use canoe/kayak storage rack near the pier. This part of Green Lake is very good for fishing as well as being a stunning place to relax in the sun.
