Things
To Do In And Around Pemberton
JOFFRE LAKES: Spectacular glacier lakes the colour of the famous Lake Louise but without a zillion tourists. An easy 3 minute walk to first lake, but the other two are a good 1.5 to 2.5 hours hike. The top lake is worth the effort for the view of the spectacular Joffre Glacier. If you are ambitious you can continue to hike right up to the glacier.
NAIRN FALLS: Just before coming into Pemberton are these awesome and powerful falls. The trail to the falls is about a 20 min walk from the parking lot or you can hike there on a trail from One Mile Lake Park in Pemberton.
STRAWBERRY POINT: A beautiful sandy beach surrounded by mountains on the gorgeous Lillooet Lake. Although glacier-fed, the aquamarine waters looks almost tropical and the surface warms up enough for swimming. The beach is an easy 3-5 minute hike down from the parking lot. Walk along the beach and find a nice spot to spend the day.
MOUNTAIN BIKING: Pemberton's mountain bike trails are famous and have been featured in Bike Magazine among others. This is advanced riding at its best. For cruisers or road cyclists, Pemberton offers easy valley trails and scenic farm roads like the Meadows Road... route of the Pemberton Slow Food Cycle event.
