"A glacier-fed lake in Garibaldi Park, flanked by mountains and lush shoreline. Dahlia Swerdloff says views are spectacular in any season and that “the best view is at the top of the Symphony chairlift on Whistler Mountain.” In warmer months she recommends hiking the High Note Trail, which wraps around the back of Whistler Mountain to showcase the lake." - Lauren Dana Ellman

The hike to the lake is relatively easy, with a mostly flat trail. Once you reach the lake, you're rewarded with crystal-clear turquoise water and stunning views of snow-capped peaks reflected in the still surface.

Such a nice lake to have a quiet camping trip. You need a day pass to access to the parking area

Very beautiful trail and lake! The trail was moderate for kids and easy for adults. The road is well maintained with lots of shade.
Constantly changing view during the hike was like something out of a fairytale or a video game. You can experience multiple kinds of nature while walking with the Grand prize of the lake in the end.

Great trail for a day walk by the lake. Minimal elevation with shaded trail. Make sure to walk to the very end for the stunning lake beach☺️

First time for these Guatemalan eyes to see this amazing place! I loved it! The hike to get there is easy and flat. Mostly walking under the shade of gigantic beautiful trees. Water is crystal clear and has an awesome turquoise color.

Beautiful! The water is so blue. The hike was nice, well maintained trail. Rated as moderate. The huge trees offer a lot of shade. And you might see some wildlife. We saw a bear. Love this lake. Just beautiful!
