There were three boys from a family who decided to walk off path and waited for them to correct their behavior.

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.

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.

One of the best things about this park is that most of the picnic tables are shaded by trees that provide important cover from the sun in the summer. There is also a kids park at the Entrance Bay Picnic Ground. A great outdoors experience for the family.

Nice and decent hike (day trip) just S of Chilliwack…read more Parking is available along the side of the road. The logging road up the mountain is not paved and has quite a few potholes. A SUV is recommended, and 4x4 is best, especially if one goes past where the hiking trail starts. There are 2 paths to the peak. The most common one is a 8.9km return hike (377m elevation gain) from a turnoff just past the switchbacks. Most of the trail is much like the Grouse Grind, but there are some steep sections that require using the attached ropes. The other way requires a 4x4, following the same road (past the turnoff) to the very end. This path requires a bit of off trail hiking (lots of prickly bushes and dead trees) but is much shorter, with a 220m elevation gain and ~1.7km distance. The view from the end of the road provides a sweeping panorama (looking SW) of the Fraser Valley, and is arguably a better view than the one from the peak area, which has too many trees. However, from the peak one can look E towards Cultus Lake, though the lake itself isn't visible because of the terrain. Lastly, the "true" peak is quite disappointing. It's a long skinny lumpy rock, surrounded by trees which block the view.

Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park protects some very beautiful areas. For most people this parks…read moremain attraction is Chilliwack Lake itself with its front country camping and boating options that include waterskiing and paddling. This is all fine and good but the real beauty is found beyond the parks namesake itself. Make your way along the hiking trails or routes (if you have the route finding skills) and check out the other 5 lakes that the park has to offer. Lindeman Lake is an amazing little gem of a lake to hike to with amazing colouring. If you are backcountry camping it is better to get a little farther out as there can be some pretty rowdy people closer to the parking lot. At the far end of Chilliwack Lake you can park at Depot Creek bridge (It has lock blocks on the bridge deck so you have to hike beyond it) and hike down into a ecological Reserve that preserves a stand of old growth forest beside the Chilliwack River. Warning: If you park your car in this park overnight unattended there is a fairly high probability of having your car broken into or vandalized. It is the one very big problem with backpacking and hiking out in the Valley there seems to be no respect for others property out in the bush! It is so worth checking this park out but leave nothing in your car that would even make someone tempted to break into your car as the scumbags will!! The park actually gets 5 stars for the park but looses 2 stars because the frequency of break-ins and vandalism.

Our last walk and view of/on the trail was back in late-March, when the deciduous trees were still mostly without leaves, and the grounds and trails rather wet. In contrast, all the forest trees were bright and green this time, but with the low rainfall this spring, forest grounds and trails were starting to look very dry. Early-spring ground vegetation (like Western Trillium and False Lily of the Valley), was so green during our last walk. We had hoped to see some blossoming of these plants during the walk this time - but that was pretty much over - the plants though, still alive, and providing some nice green 'carpets' to various areas along the walk. For us as always, a most pleasant forest trail walk. And this time, we made a point of walking the trail extra slowly, to really absorb and benefit from as much of the wonderful fresh air, and beautiful natural sights of the surroundings as we could.

There is very limited parking, and only a one way in and out so if you're trying to social distance I would not go if you see more than five cars out front. It is a lovely walk and hike up but it is damp so I suggest wearing appropriate shoes as it can be slippery. At the top there is plenty of places to take photos of there isn't too many people there as well. There is also two benches that you're able to sit on at the top. One is quiet close to the waterfall so do expect to get
