Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park adventure.
Go camping, boating, or fishing at clear Chilliwack Lake, east of British Columbiaâs Fraser Valley. Â
Above the Canada-U.S. border in BCâs southern interior, Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park spans 9,122 hectares of old-growth forests and alpine ridges with 40 kilometres of hiking trails above a valley-bottom lake. Chilliwack Lake is the parkâs highlight, for canoeing, kayaking, boating, and fishing, particularly for several varieties of trout. If youâre hardy, you can swim in the lakeâs chilly waters. For campers, Chilliwack Lake has 146 front-country campsites in four vehicle-accessible campgrounds. The parkâs four backcountry camping areas, Lindeman Lake, Greendrop Lake, Radium Lake, and Flora Lake, each have six walk-in sites. Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park is 150 kilometres east of Vancouver and 64 kilometres southeast of Chilliwack.
Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park normally opens in late April or early May and closes in early October, although some campgrounds are open only until Labour Day. The park gates are locked the rest of the year, but itâs possible to walk in, weather permitting, year-round. Like most British Columbia parks, Chilliwack Lake is busiest throughout the summer. September/October is a cooler but somewhat less crowded alternative, as are the damper spring months of April and May. Expect snow at higher elevations between November and March.
