In recent years, Whyte Lake has become a popular year-round hiking spot for locals. It’s a wonderful destination for a wet-weather or shoulder-season day, especially when you don’t have the time or inclination do something higher or farther.
I’ve hiked to the lake on three occasions. It’s now protected as part of Whyte Lake Park, which at 124 hectares is the largest park administered by the District of West Vancouver (in the territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations).
