Description

Added by John Entwistle

One of the smaller parks in whistler with amazing docks, grassy areas, and a dog park!

Located in Whistler Creekside, Alpha Lake Park is one of Whistler's hidden gems. Just off of Lake Placid road on the North Side of the Highway, there is lots of parking in the parking lot, or it is accessible directly via the valley trail for walkers and bikers. To access, turn on to Lake Placid road North at the Husky station on Highway 99.

The park is well suited for hang outs with several docks, a beach, slackline posts, a volleyball court, a playground, and large grassy areas.

Just don’...

Hike along the Whistler Valley Trail Lit Section

Although the trail goes for many kilometres in either direction, this particular stretch ...

Hike the Musical Bumps Trail
