About Chilliwack River Provincial Park

 

Chilliwack River Provincial Park is located in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, protecting a section of the Chilliwack River corridor and surrounding forested mountain terrain. The park provides visitors with opportunities to experience temperate rainforest ecology, salmon-bearing river habitats, and outstanding mountainous landscapes framed by peaks of the Cascade Range. The river supports various fish species, including threatened salmon populations, while the adjacent forest is home to wildlife such as black bears, deer, and numerous bird species. Established to preserve both its ecological values and recreational potential, the park is popular for activities including hiking, fishing, kayaking, and camping. Key landmarks include access points to the upper Chilliwack River watershed and stunning river valley views. The blend of river access and nearby mountainous terrain makes it appealing for multi-day adventures and day hikes, with moderate to challenging trails leading toward alpine environments and waterfalls. Visitors come to connect with nature, enjoy peaceful river settings, and explore outdoor activities year-round. The park's close proximity to local communities enhances its role as an accessible wilderness area within reach for both casual visitors and experienced outdoors enthusiasts.
