History

Chilliwack River Park was established in 1961.

Conservation

Chilliwack River Park lies in the Coastal Douglas-fir biogeoclimatic zone. Its floodplain characteristics emphasize the role of water as a manipulator of both land and vegetation giving the park a unique combination of flora.

Wildlife

The Chilliwack River supports Steelhead and Chum, Coho and Sockeye salmon.

BC Parks honours Indigenous Peoples’ connection to the land and respects the importance of their diverse teachings, traditions, and practices within these territories. This park webpage may not adequately represent the full history of this park and the connection of Indigenous Peoples to this land. We are working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to update our websites so that they better reflect the history and cultures of these special places.
