Callaghan Lake Provincial Park

Callaghan Lake Provincial Park is a provincial park in the Callaghan Valley of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It protects Callaghan Lake and surrounding forestland near the Whistler area.

The park’s primary attractions are the lake itself and the surrounding backcountry terrain. Recreational uses include canoeing and day-use on the lake, campsite use and hiking on trails that lead into forested valleys and alpine terrain; the area also receives winter use for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

The park is managed by BC Parks to conserve the lake, surrounding watersheds and recreational values. Over time the area has been used for recreation and managed to balance outdoor use with habitat protection.

The park sits in the Callaghan Valley just inland from the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, within driving distance of Whistler and the Sea-to-Sky corridor.

• Access: Access is via forestry and secondary roads off Highway 99; some trailheads and campsites are reached by unpaved roads and require high-clearance vehicles in wet conditions.
• Recreation seasons: Popular for multi-day backcountry trips and winter recreation such as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing when snowpack permits.
