Fall Camping ~ Callaghan Lake Provincial Park
Canoeing Callaghan Lake while doing a spur of the moment, late season camping trip. The morning waters were so smooth, the skies were amazing, and there were lots of huckleberries and blueberries!

Recently my friend invited me to go on a 4x4 trip to Callaghan lake in Whistler, BC. We drove up from Richmond on the Seat to Sky highway and met our friend at the Porteau Cove Provincial Park from there we stopped in Squamish to get some firewood and some coffee.
We took the turn to Whistler Olympic village and turned right after the Alexander Falls. Half way to Callaghan lake we had to change plans as our friend who we met at Porteau Cove was driving a Honda Ridgeline which was doing fine until we reached a rough patch of the road and could not go any further. We decided to turn around and look for alternatives.
Luckily Madeleine lake was 15min away so we turned back and headed to Madeleine lake.
The campground parking spot at the north side of Madeleine lake was full so we went to the west side of the lake which was still a good spot.
We unpacked and started setting up the tents. Love that Smittybilt Overlander Tents my friend has on the roof of his Toyota FJ cruiser.
Started a fire and cooked a nice stake, nothing better than enjoying a meal in nature. Stayed by the fire till around 12 and went to bed.
Had a very good night sleep, a good sleeping pad and a pillow makes a huge difference. It’s a way better sleep when you deflate your pillow a bit. Had my bear spray next to me for the peace of mind.
Woke up next morning and did some drone footage of the area, then walked to the lake for some fishing. The lake was nice and calm.
I used an unusual for the area fishing setup. The bombarda float proved to be very efficient for long distance casting as the shore was very shallow. Caught a small trout in first few casts. The fishing here is way better than in the Lower Mainland.
At about noon packed everything then drove to Whistler Meadow Park Sports Centre. It was handy to have a dry bag to store all your valuables when using the facilities. Felt so much cleaner and relaxed afterward.
My friend has a nice inflatable Sea Eagle Canoe so we decided to drive up to Lost lake in Whistler for some paddling. Unfortunately the parking next to the lake has only 5min limit. You have to drop your stuff at the parking lot then park the car on the street 10min walk away from the parking if you can find the parking then walk back. This scenario will not work of course if you are alone so we decided not to do it (too much of a hustle). We decided to head back to Vancouver

Conflict Lake Hike in Callaghan Valley
Full guide:
Conflict Lake is a beautiful hike in the gorgeous Callaghan Valley backcountry. In the late summer, the wildflowers are blooming in the sub-alpine meadows, making the entire length of the trail scenic and enjoyable.
Conflict Lake itself sits next to the Journeyman Lodge. A hike to the lake is often combined with hiking to nearby Ring Lake, but it’s a worthy destination of its own for those that don’t have time to extend the hike further.
Crossing Callaghan Lake (part 2)
Crossing Callaghan Lake with my daughter in Whistler, in British Columbia, Canada. It was a long and slow journey, but a beautiful day for paddling. The lake water was frigid, but not as bad as the stream mouth where we disembarked on the far side: the water was snow melt coming straight from the high water fall on the nearby mountain face and it was so cold when we put our bare feet in we felt like screaming. Unfortunately, we missed the trail on the far side and after wandering in the wilderness for nearly an hour we gave up and returned to the boat (passing an equally lost Australian couple on the way back). Callaghan Lake Provincial Park is home to brown bears, black bears, cougar, wolves, wolverine, coyotes, elk and moose, so I took my camera, but sadly we saw naught. Still, a great day we won't forget.
