Daisy Lake, lake in British Columbia, Canada
Daisy Lake is a reservoir in British Columbia located south of Whistler and held back by a dam. The water is calm and clear, surrounded by forests and mountain formations, with dark lava rocks visible along the shoreline.
The dam was built in the 1920s and later rebuilt to support water management for the region. This construction helped generate power for nearby communities and contributed to the development of Whistler.
The name Daisy Lake refers to wild daisies that once lined the shores. Visitors can observe today how the water reflects the surrounding forests and how people use the quiet bays for relaxation and contemplation.
The lake is easily accessible from Whistler or Garibaldi, with parking and picnic areas near the shore. Trails circle the water's edge, and the best visiting period is summer when the weather is milder.
The water merged the original Daisy Lake with Shadow Lake, changing its size and shape. This combination was part of a larger water control project that still supports the region's power generation today.
