If you're boating on Harrison Lake make sure you check out 'Killer's Cove Marina' for boat, Jet Ski…read moreand water sports rentals. Killer's is Conveniently located on the docks just in front of Harrison Resort and Spa and is a lot cheaper than Harrison Watersports, also Killer's Cove is a family owned and operated business so you can feel good supporting it. FYI: Harrison Watersports requires a $2500 damage deposit versus the $700 Killer's charged (& refunded us). We had our choice of boats at varying rates and they gave our driver a detailed safety course with equipment and maps. They conveniently gave us the option to split up our rental time (6 hours) over a couple days or load up a redeemable card on the off chance that we didn't use up all our time on this visit. Things to know: - They won't allow you to make out of town reservations over the phone, you need to do them in person so check them out the day before you want to rent if at all possible. - The boats don't have stereos so bring your own. We were forewarned so it wasn't an issue to just bring our own ipod dock and speakers. - You can rent a 'tube' to pull behind the boat for an additional $20 a day, I highly recommend it! Us three adults had a great time with ours :) We had such an amazing day, if/when I'm back to Harrison I'll be sure to grab another boat from Killer's. The rental process was quick and painless and our day on the water was easily the most memorable of the trip.

Using a paddle float takes some skill so unless you know what you are doing I'm not sure why they give this too you. The boats that they give you are hard to capsize. But watch out for the wake from motorboats. Many have no clue about the effect they have on a small canoe or kayak. You can't paddle far but they do allow you to go down the river which is very nice. Enjoy.

She accommodated us fast, answered to all our questions and was always there when needed, without being too intrusive as we experienced in other campgrounds. The site we got was right by the water, where we could fish, and enjoy the beautiful view. There were mosquitoes around, due to the high levels of the Fraser, but managed to keep them away with smoke, insect repellent spray and citronella candles. The campground has nice spacious sites, water and electricity hook ups and everyone kept it quiet and respectful. There are train tracks across the river, and trains are passing throughout the day, but is far enough to not be too loud and just give a nice picturesque touch. We already booked to go back in a couple of weeks.

My kid and I visited here on July 6, at approximately 11am. You'd think it'd be crazy crowded on a…read moreperfectly sunny and hot July day - but NO! IT WAS REALLY QUIET! We were so impressed by the park! There's camping, there's hiking, there's a fabulous beach area, there's a boat launch, there's shaded picnic tables. (Note: we drove around looking for parking. Despite bing a bunch of different lots, they all seemed to be reserved for specific visitors - i.e., campers, boaters, etc. If you're just here to hike, as we were, know to go to the parking lot designated for "picnic area". FYI. Oh, and it was free to park here, too. Bonus!). My kid heard about the "Seven Sisters" hike, which supposedly is a "gentle loop" through the mountain, and "family friendly". I'm a long-distance walker but not a hiker, and I'm not great with inclines, so I still found this walk up the mountain a tad taxing in parts. But boy, was it lovely! The air was so fresh, and the trees, so old and imposing and stately, and nobody was there but us! It was an incredibly, serene beautiful experience. And it only took about 50 minutes. I highly recommend this hike. It was wonderful! And if you have time, the beach area looked fabulous, too, and the lake crystal clear. What a great park!

We stayed at the Maple Bay cabins in June. The cabins were large inside, comfortable but firm beds…read more I've seen a couple reviews about mice, didn't see any at all but you couldn't leave any food whatsoever because of squirrels, racoons so just have to make sure its packed up or left in the cabin. The cabins were very close together and has ZERO privacy. We were in cabin 17 and cabin 16 was about 20 feet away from us. Also overlooked the parking lot. They seem to be more designed for large groups and families to all share space. There's only one electrical outlet so you recommend bringing a power bar. Not all the windows have curtains so we taped a black garbage bag to the top and door window to make it darker, it was very bright in the morning and woke kids up early. There's a small beach right by the cabins or a short walk to the larger beach with a dock/washrooms. The beaches are gravel so would recommend water shoes. The bathrooms were clean and showers nice. There was one communal fire pit. It was so high that you if were sitting down on a camp chair you couldn't actually see the fire over it. There's a large covered communal area with picnic tables and a dish washing station with hot water. Large grassy area for kids to run around which was nice and lots of shade.

Plenty of people come here and book designated picnic tables to celebrate special occasions as many of them have bbq option. Else just the lake side view for any celebration is enough.

Golden Ears Provincial Park is a very popular park and campground. Even though it's in Maple…read moreRidge, which is relatively close to Vancouver, I had never been due to lack of transit, but I finally had the opportunity to go on Thursday August 13, 2026 with four friends. Because Golden Ears is such a popular destination, free day passes are required for cars between mid-May to Labour Day on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. As we went on a Thursday we didn't require a pass, but we arrived at 11am, which is considered "late" (none of us are morning people), but we lucked out and managed to find one of the few remaining parking spots, and it was very close to the trail head. This was the first time at Golden Ears for all of us, so we took our time exploring and spent over four hours hiking and enjoying the day. We hiked along the East Canyon Trail to Viewpoint Beach, where we stopped for lunch for about half an hour and watched people on horseback frolicking in the water, and then started back down the trail and took the Crossover Trail to the Lower Falls, and then hiked along the Lower Falls Trail back to the parking lot. With the exception of the Crossover Trail, the trails we hiked were very easy, particularly the Lower Falls Trail (I wouldn't even say that this trail was a hike -- it was a walk). The Crossover Trail connects the East Canyon Trail to the Lower Falls, and while short, it was absolutely awful and I would not recommend hiking this "trail". On the map it's noted as a trail, but in my opinion, it really isn't. The Crossover Trail is very steep and the terrain is quite treacherous, particularly if you're short. Several times I just slid on my butt. The trails we hiked were by the North Beach area of Alouette Lake. There are campgrounds and several other trails, ranging from easy to advanced. Unfortunately there is no transit to this part of Golden Ears, but as of this summer, limited transit service to the South Beach of Alouette Lake began. In June, Translink began seasonal service from Haney Place in Maple Ridge to the South Beach parking lot. The #736 ran only on weekends and holidays until Labour Day every half an hour between 7am and 9pm (which is pretty damn good!). I was hoping to try this route out even though a one way transit trip would be 1.5 hours (getting to Haney Place is about an hour and includes 30 minute bus ride), but between my schedule and the limited days the bus ran, I wasn't able to make it before service ended. Also, I wasn't familiar with the hiking trails in the South Beach area, but now that I have been to Golden Ears and have studied the maps, I feel more comfortable exploring Golden Ears and hope to take transit there next summer. Even if I have friends who can drive, I want to support Translink and hope they keep this route going, and maybe expand it -- more transit to hiking trails is needed.

After breakfast in Mission, a stop into the Chehalis River Salmonid Enhancement Facility was made…read moreon the way to Harrison Hot Springs recently. Ii is a favourite place to stop for us, and this time, although a touch early 'season-wise' for most returning salmonids, I anticipated seeing at least a few adult fish in the river, and returning to the facility. Our visit was rewarded with such sights - there were several adults in the stream 'and' attempting to make their way into holding structures within the facility available to them at that time. I knew we were a touch early to see many returning adult fish to the facility, but that said, we did get some good views of several fish within the stream, and some very up close & personal views of a few fish that had been able to get into the facility earlier, and their jumping attempts at entrance gates to a couple of holding ponds. For us, very cool to see, and it sure added some excitement to our stop into the facility this time! As usual when there, we did a complete (self-guided) walkabout of the entire grounds, catching all the sights and sounds along the way. And for the first time, we dropped into the main building - it houses most of the inside operational facilities, staff offices, and such - the foyer, is open to the public, and contains informational bulletin boards, signage, displays, and brochures of interest to visitors to the facility. Once again, our favourite stop-along-the-way to Harrison was fun and interesting, along with some exciting "fish moments".
