Furry Creek: Trails, Views and Golf on Howe Sound
Accommodation in Furry Creek
Furry Creek can be experienced in two distinct ways: public open spaces with viewpoints at Oliver’s Landing, and the landscape of Furry Creek Golf and Country Club. The area brings together options for a stay where you can take in both coastal views and a distinctive golf setting. The details below help distinguish local experiences from the offerings across the wider Squamish-Lillooet destination.
Trails and Views at Oliver’s Landing
The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District manages parts of a landscaped public walkway in Furry Creek. Public open spaces also include a viewing platform beside Oliver’s Landing, which is also managed by the Regional District. This provides two distinct local points of interest: a landscaped path and a viewing platform. If you are getting your bearings, you can consider these public spaces separately from the golf course.
Oliver’s Landing in Furry Creek is a place for whale watching. The viewpoint there overlooks the Sound, but whale sightings are not guaranteed. Oliver’s Landing is described as free to visit, with limited parking and a short walk over gravel paths to the beach or viewpoint. Check current access and parking conditions before your visit; parking availability may change.
Golf Course and Landscape
Furry Creek Golf and Country Club is surrounded by Howe Sound Bay, tall old-growth trees, and snow-capped mountains. Signature Hole 14 lies directly on the shore of Howe Sound. The golf course winds through the rainforest and canyons of this distinctive ecosystem. The hole’s shoreline location and the route through rainforest and canyons showcase different parts of the golf setting described here.
The Sea to Sky Restaurant is located on the 18th green and offers views over the treetops toward Howe Sound. If you plan to visit the restaurant, check its current operating information in advance.
The Wider Squamish-Lillooet Destination
Across the wider Squamish-Lillooet destination, the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District manages and protects an extensive network of parks and trails. These include ocean views, river access, forested trails, and untouched wetlands. The Sea to Sky Trail stretches for 180 kilometres from the waterfront in Squamish to D’Arcy. This describes the regional setting; the public trails and viewpoints mentioned above provide local orientation in Furry Creek.
Another example in the wider Squamish-Lillooet destination is Brandywine Falls Park. The park features a 70-metre-high waterfall and offers views of the surrounding mountains. Visitors can hike, picnic, mountain bike, and see the waterfall there. Trail availability can vary seasonally, so check trail conditions before making specific plans.
