Nature
Callaghan Lake Provincial Park in British Columbia occupies the upper Callaghan Valley west of Whistler, centered on Callaghan Lake beneath the dormant volcano Mount Callaghan. Established in 1997 and expanded in 2000 to about 2,691 hectares, it protects a mountain landscape beside one of the province’s most prominent winter sports areas, with the Olympic sliding venue just to the south. The area once was proposed as the base village for the Powder Mountain Resort ski development, but that project failed amid allegations of interference by William Vander Zalm and others in the Social Credit government. Instead, the landscape remained protected parkland rather than becoming a major ski village.
