Cheakamus Lake

Cheakamus Lake is a lake in Garibaldi Provincial Park, on the southeastern outskirts of the resort municipality of Whistler, British Columbia. It has an area of 5.7 km2 (2.2 mi2). It is an expansion of the upper Cheakamus River, with the river entering the lake it at its eastern end and exiting at t

he western end. In 2005, 40,000 litres of sodium hydroxide were spilled into the Cheakamus River, well downstream of the lake, as a result of a CN train derailment.
