Boat rules

Your canoe or kayak adventure begins at the Lakeside Park Watersports Centre on beautiful Alta Lake. Take advantage of Backroads’ parking right beside the park. Once there, you’ll be fitted with lifejackets and paddles. Orientation sessions are required for all guests, prior to their departure. In addition to the Watersports Centre, Lakeside Park offers barbecue stands, children’s play areas and public washrooms, plus docks for swimming and sunbathing. You may want to bring a light snack, although our concession stand does sell ice cream, novelties and other snacks. It’s also a good idea to bring a warm sweater or light jacket, as mountain weather changes quickly. Backroads Whistler operates rain or shine and provides rain ponchos if the weather turns. Don’t forget to bring your camera, so you have lots of pictures from your canoe or kayak adventure. Although orientation sessions are available, it is recommended that guests wanting to take self-guided or solo tours should be competent paddlers.
