Along two lakes you have the chance to spot North American beavers. Look out especially for beaver lodges made of sticks and mud.

What you can experience here

In the Whistler valley there are several lakes and rivers inhabited by Canada’s national animal, the North American beaver. Your best chances of seeing it are at Alpha and Nita lakes. Look out for a beaver lodge, which is a heap of sticks and mud. If you spot one, wait quietly for a moment – you might be able to watch the beaver at work.
