About
The Callaghan Valley is a prime year-round backcountry recreation area. It is also the home of the 2010 Winter Olympics nordic sports venue (Whistler Olympic Park) for cross-country skiing, biathlon, ski jumping, and nordic combined.
Callaghan Lake Park receives an average snow pack of 275 centimetres, which may yield 150 days of skiing. The rolling subalpine terrain with interspersed meadows is well suited to Nordic Skiing, and the steeper slopes offer telemark and alpine ski touring opportunities.
Other opportunities at this park include rustic drive-in camping, canoeing, boating, fishing, and hiking. There are numerous wetlands and small lakes, especially in the southern and eastern areas of the park, and in the upper headwaters of Callaghan Creek.
