Golden Ears Provincial Park

Reviewed By CherylF146

Through sheer luck, we were able to snag a campground site that someone had canceled. We had a walk-in site, which I highly recommend if you don't mind hauling your equipment a short walk from the parking lot. These sites also seem newer than others in the site. Some walk-in sites even have a view of the lake! Another plus is the proximity to the trail that leads down to the lake. There's plenty to do around the campground, and while we did make our way to the day-use area, I definitely think that the area around the campground is the best. Gold Creek is great to take a boat, floatie, or a paddleboard out on.

Kanaka Creek Riverfront Trail

Reviewed By sashakeena - Vancouver, Canada

This is a park that brings you back to nature for all family members. Easy to take a stroll along the reasonable flat gravel trails or another option is to go along the river side. Park has few picnic tables for enjoying a nice lunch, also available are toilets along the trail side. NOTE: Bears maybe in the area!

Maple Ridge Park

Reviewed By converge77 - Surrey, Canada

Great for a picnic for all ages because it's a relaxing peaceful atmosphere and the playground allows the children to run around having fun while adults can visit.

This is a great meeting spot with a great market on Saturdays during the summer months. It’s next to a small mall and a wonderful Rec Centre with a pool. Great place to spend a few hours sampling local produce and awesome artisan markets stalls with a great selection of wares.

Whonnock Lake

Reviewed By BradA61 - Maple Ridge, Canada

Hidden in Maple Ridge, Whonnock Lake is a great spot to spend the day! Nice beach area with a play space for kids.Swimming and fishing. We often take our small motorhome up there and spend several hours parked at the edge of the lake. The lodge is awesome and often hosts weddings and celebrations. It is home to a rowing club and you can often watch them training and racing on the lake.
