Water Sports

Lakes, rivers and turquoise meltwater

Whistler's many sparkling lakes and beautiful beaches are ideal for relaxing and recharging on warm summer days. Soak up the sun and head out on the water by canoe, paddleboard or kayak.

Float the turquoise-toned Green Lake or explore Alta Lake at your own pace — guided tours and equipment rentals are available across the valley. With average July and August highs of 27°C (81°F), the water is warm enough to swim.

For something faster, dig in your paddle on a white water rafting trip as adrenaline runs from the peaks down to the rivers in the valley, or get hooked up with a local fishing guide on nearby rivers and remote alpine lakes.
