Chilliwack Lake

Advisories

November 2, 2017: Park and campground are now closed for the season

The park is now closed for the season and reopens May 2018. Those wishing to enjoy the lake may still do so by parking along Chilliwack Lake Road across from the main yellow gate where the pavement ends, and walking the 800 metres of road to the lake. Please refrain from parking in front of the yellow gate. The boat launch is not accessible to vehicles during this time.

Boating Information: The water level can get very high in the lake during spring run-off, and the beach and boat launch are frequently underwater. The lake is extremely cold and life jackets are an absolute necessity in any watercraft. The boat launch is small and designed for boats of less than 20’ in length.

ATVs: Due to the ecological sensitivity of the park, ATV’s, Snowmobiles and other similar motorized vehicles are not permitted

About Chilliwack Lake

Chilliwack Lake is located 150km east of Vancouver off of Highway 1.

Chilliwack Lake is an ideal spot for canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, swimming, fishing and hiking. A wide sandy beach has stunning views on all sides as the ramrod-straight fir forest rises to ice fields and scissor-cut peaks. The park is great for families with a playground and volleyball net located in the day-use area.

Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park is a pristine escape from city life that is characterised by a valley-bottom lake surrounded by old growth forests and bountiful sub-alpine and alpine ridges to explore. Forty kilometers of trails provide opportunities for hiking, bird and wildlife viewing, and nature appreciation.
