Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. Covering 92.58 km², the park is located 150 km east of Vancouver in the Chilliwack River Valley.
Chilliwack Lake is suitable for boating, canoeing, swimming and fishing. The park also features several trails, including challenging hikes to Lindeman Lake (1.5 km), Greendrop Lake (5.5 km), Flora Lake (7 km) and Radium Lake (6.5 km). All the hikes at the North end of the Park are considered strenuous mountain trails. Day hikers will want to avoid the Flora Lake trail as it is particularly rugged, and is more suited to advanced and well equipped hikers with path finding experience.

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
