Sx̱ótsaqel/Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park

Sx̱ótsaqel/Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia preserving Chilliwack Lake and the surrounding mountain valleys in the Cascade Range. It protects lake shoreline, forests and mountain-access trails used for recreation and backcountry travel.

Visitors use the lake for boating, fishing and lakeside camping, and access trailheads that lead into alpine valleys and peaks for day hikes or multi-day trips. Campgrounds, boat launches and picnic areas provide organized facilities for outdoor recreation.

Designated and managed by BC Parks, the area has long been used for recreation and as a travel corridor through mountain terrain; park status protects the lake, forests and access to alpine routes. The park supports both day-use visitors and backcountry users.

Located in the upper Chilliwack River valley in southwestern British Columbia near the U.S. border, the park lies within the Cascade mountain front. It is reached by road from the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley region.

• Backcountry gateway: The park provides trailheads for backcountry hiking into the North Cascades and is a common starting point for multi-day routes into alpine terrain.
