Father’s Day In Whistler – Fishing
The tranquil waters of glacier-fed lakes are perfect for fishing. Whistler’s lakes are stocked with fish and provide a fun fishing experience from the shoreline, via canoe or pontoon boat. Our friends at Pemberton Fish Finders can help get you set up with everything you need for a day fishing on Nita Lake!
After an amazing winter season, there is still plenty of snow left in the alpine areas of Whistler Blackcomb. For Father’s Day in Whistler, enjoy a leisurely walk among the giant snow walls. After uploading the Whistler Village Gondola, the hike will take about an hour round trip. It’s a great way to cool down if the sun is out! Keep an eye out for black bears when you are on the gondola. They are usually grazing in grassy fields.
The driving range is a great option for Father’s Day In Whistler. Centrally located in Whistler Village, the driving range provides everything you need on-site. They can even provide a lesson from a golf pro. This is a great option for the whole family to share in an activity that dad loves.
The Valley Trail is the perfect bike experience for the whole family. This paved trail loops around Whistler’s neighbourhoods so you don’t have to worry about riding on the road. While you won’t have the same downhill thrills as the Whistler Bike Park, the scenic beauty of Whistler will still take your breath away. Make sure to bring a camera to capture some family photos!
Fix Cafe is the perfect spot to grab a casual lunch this Father’s Day in Whistler. After working up an appetite, a relaxing lunch on the patio will keep everyone happy. They have a daily hot sandwich, salad, and soups to choose from as well as gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Add a beer or cider and “cheers” to Dad!
