Absolutely... this is an excellent place to stop for a walk. Words and pictures can not accurately…read moredescribe how stunning the tunnels and the river are. Other reviews suggest bringing a flashlight, which we did, but it really wasn't all that necessary. There were 4 distinct tunnels through which to walk; one was very short. Only one was long enough to make the darkness of the tunnel feel a bit spooky. But the feeling passed as we continued walking. There's a large parking lot, with more than enough free parking for when we arrived on Thursday around noon. There are 4 toilets just adjacent to the parking lots, which is great because the location of the park is a bit remote. Would definitely recommend everyone making a trip!

Diablo Lake is undoubtedly stunning. It's most notable feature is its gorgeous turquoise color,…read morecaused by the reflection of "rock flour". We saw the lake in its full glory both on a sunny and cloudy day - and it is spectacular in any weather. We accessed the lake in two ways - once directly to the lake via campground, and then the second time (drove around it) to the vista point where you can get a full view. Enjoy!

What a beautiful place to visit in North Cascades National Park!!…read more Pictures do not do this beautiful lake justice. This water is unlike anything I have ever seen before - so green and clear and so unique to North Cascades. We just enjoyed the lake from the overlook, but we saw many more people also going down to the lake. If you don't have time to do much in North Cascades, taking the time to simply enjoy Diablo Lake is a must-stop and well-worth the time.

What a gorgeous place to spend the day! While staying in Princeton we drove out to otter lake day…read moreuse beach twice and spent the entire day there. The park is clean with lots of shade and picnic tables and it is not overly crowded although I still recommend going early to get a prime picnic area. The lake is calm and was the perfect temperature. I look forward to spending much more time here with my family next summer

If you are willing to make the drive (approximately 4 hours out from Vancouver) you will not be…read moredisappointed with Otter Lake Provincial Park and the camp grounds here. Some of the best campsites at this location are definitely the lake sides ones as these give you direct access to the lake without having to leave your site! However, it isn't too difficult to either walk to the lake or take a short drive out to the day use area if you have one of the inner sites. One of the big draws of this location was the lack of RV's which makes for an amazingly quiet and relaxing experience. The site also has strict rules about when you can run your generators which definitely helps as well. Many of the sites that we passed by where mainly tents with smaller camping trailers. There are also a variety of trails near by as well as access to some cool looking mountain biking courses. It is important to note that there are no shower facilities here or full bathrooms. However, all their porter potties/washrooms are actually fitted with flush toilets! They are also cleaned very frequently. Overall, this place is great for families and perfect for car camping enthusiasts that want a more peaceful and relaxing experience. Additional notes: The campsite is located just 5 or 10 minutes from Tulameen which means easy access food/supplies if you need a top off. Also if you need propane you'll need to go across the street from the town's general store - look for the motel, and call the posted number to get service. The owner lives pretty close by and can generally get there in 5 minutes or so of the call. They take debit/cash.

Cheam Lake Wetlands is a 100 hectare park that is a great place to view birds, dragonflies, frogs…read moreand other wetland critters. What's really great is that there is no dog walking, fishing or boating allowed, so you it is definitely well preserved. The park is a great example of successful habitat restoration. During the 1950s the lake was drained and the marl was mined from the bottom sediments. Since 1992, a fish ladder was built to reflood the lake. Every year more of the natural habitat is being restore to the area. The new dock and wildlife viewing platform is a bonus. An easy 5k walk around the lake is a great way of spotting this new habitat. Every season is different.

A quick stop off the highway for a picnic or for some sensational photos…read more The trail is all uphill for about 15 minutes. Once you take the trail to the base of the falls, there is a sign that warns about going up to the top. It is absolutely very slippery. We were there in July and it was very dry and slippery. Lots of people were struggling to get up to get good pics. The falls are breathtaking indeed. Mother Nature did a good job. Beware...It's even more difficult getting back down. If you don't have the right shoes or if you don't have someone to help you, it could be very scary. Lots of parking and picnic tables.

Some views of the Park, and the Fraser River taken during a 2-night stay in Hope last week…read more The Park runs along a portion of Water Street, adjacent the Fraser River, and offers a small lookout spot to catch some spectacular views of the River. The River was running 'high & wide' at this time. The lovely weather during our stay, and the Park's setting, sure provided us with some wonderful viewings during our stay.

The Park is located at the far eastern end of Harrison, with Harrison Lake access and views on one side, and apartments lining the other side. Walking access to the Park is via a small entranceway at the end of Esplanade Avenue, or another entranceway at the opposite end of the Park, off Rockwell Drive. The Park is a day use area, with a number of picnic tables, and an area of the Lake is 'fenced off' (w/floats) for swimming. The walk though, and around provided our first up-close look at this area of Harrison since the nearby cottage/cabin type hotel had been removed, and other apartments, and such built on nearby properties. For us, it was good to see the park area had been spared from any further construction, and left as a park.
