About the Park
S⨱ótsaqel / Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park is located 150km east of Vancouver off Highway 1.
S⨱ótsaqel / Chilliwack Lake Park 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.
S⨱ótsaqel / Chilliwack Lake Park is a pristine escape from city life that is characterized 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.

Trail advisory notice for Lindeman/Greendrop Lake Trail.
The Lindeman/Greendrop Lake Trail is now open and available for access.
Portions of Sxótsaqel/Chilliwack Lake Park experienced impacts from severe winter winds, resulting in extensive tree damage. The trail has been cleared up to Lindeman Lake, including the backcountry campsite at this location. Four tent pads are currently available; however, one pad was damaged and requires replacement.
Beyond Lindeman Lake, sections of trail still contain fallen trees. While these do not pose a significant safety risk, hikers should expect to navigate over, under, or around obstacles. Travel beyond Lindeman Lake may be slower and more challenging.
Clearing of remaining wind-felled trees will continue throughout the 2026 season.
