Things to do
4 attraction guides for the places around Chilliwack and Harrison Hot Springs, each with its own visitor guide. Park status below is from BC Parks, checked 26 October 2026.
Fraser RiverThe Fraser River at Chilliwack, where white sturgeon angling is catch-and-release only and needs a White Sturgeon Conservation Licence as well as a basic licence (BC government, checked 26 October 2026).
Bridal Veil Falls Provincial ParkA loop trail of about half an hour return leads to a viewing platform at a 60-metre waterfall (BC Parks), 16 km east of Chilliwack at Highway 1 exit 135; the park gate dates in BC Parks' operating-dates data are 1 April to 31 October for both 2026 and 2027.
Cultus Lake Provincial ParkA lake park 11 km southwest of Chilliwack with four campgrounds and a day-use area; swim only in the buoyed areas, and BC Parks still listed a December 2025 advisory on eroded trail edges and stream banks on 26 October 2026.

Times come from the tourism boards and BC Parks, not from a route planner. Check road and transit conditions before you travel.
Tourism Harrison says to allow 90 minutes from Vancouver to Harrison Hot Springs on Highway 1 east to exit 135, and 3 hours from Seattle (bring a passport or enhanced driver's licence). Tourism Chilliwack's driving directions from Vancouver to Luckakuck Way in Chilliwack use Highway 1 east and exit 116 (Lickman Road). BC Parks sends visitors to Bridal Veil Falls by exit 135 and to Cultus Lake by the Yarrow or Sardis exits.
Tourism Harrison names the airports at Vancouver (2 hours from Harrison Hot Springs) and Abbotsford. Abbotsford International Airport's website listed WestJet and Flair Airlines and car rentals on 26 October 2026, but no drive time to Chilliwack.
BC Transit's 66 FVX (Fraser Valley Express) runs between Chilliwack and Lougheed Station in Burnaby, with service to Abbotsford and Langley's Carvolth Exchange, and Tourism Chilliwack lists three Chilliwack stops, including the Downtown Chilliwack Bus Exchange. For Harrison, Tourism Harrison says to transfer in Chilliwack to the Agassiz Harrison Connector; BC Transit's Chilliwack route list shows the Harrison bus as route 71 (Agassiz-Harrison), where Tourism Harrison's page says route 11, so check the number. Adult fares (ages 19 to 64) on BC Transit's Chilliwack page on 26 October 2026: CAD 2.50 for a single ride and CAD 5 for an FVX single ride.
The BC Parks pages for Bridal Veil Falls and Cultus Lake give road directions and no bus route. BC Parks has had an advisory since 27 June 2022 that illegally parked vehicles at Bridal Veil Falls Park will be towed, so use the designated lots. On the Voyzo private fishing charter, a private vehicle and driver collect your group at your accommodation, according to the tour page.
Fares are BC Transit's adult fares as shown on its Chilliwack fares page, which states no currency or effective date. Timetables change, so check the current 66 FVX and route 71 timetables on bctransit.com before you travel.

Rules checked on the BC government and Fisheries and Oceans Canada pages on 26 October 2026. Regulations change, and this is not legal advice.
You must hold a valid freshwater licence to fish for any species in BC's non-tidal waters. Anglers aged 16 or older generally need a basic licence (the BC government lists exceptions); B.C. residents under 16 need none, and non-residents under 16 may fish without one if accompanied by a licence holder aged 16 or older. Licences are sold online in WILD or in person, as one-day, eight-day or annual (1 April to 31 March) licences.
From the CPR Bridge at Mission to and including the Williams Lake River, you must hold a White Sturgeon Conservation Licence as well as your basic licence to fish for white sturgeon, and all sturgeon must be released. That range covers the river upstream of Mission, including the Chilliwack stretch. For 15 May to 31 July, the BC government's Region 2 update lists seven voluntary and three mandatory angling closure areas between the Harrison River confluence and just upstream of Hope, set up to protect confirmed spawning areas; the document carries no date, so confirm the current closure areas with the BC government before you fish.
BC's freshwater synopsis excludes salmon fishing. Fisheries and Oceans Canada publishes fishery notices at notices.dfo-mpo.gc.ca, and this page cannot promise that a salmon opening applies on your date. A BC Region 2 notice effective 16 September 2025 says no fishing for steelhead on the Fraser River mainstem downstream of Spuzzum Creek from 15 August to 31 December; check the current regional page for this year's dates.
The tour page describes a private boat and guide, all fishing equipment, a fully licensed and insured local outfitter and catch-and-release sturgeon fishing. It does not say whether anglers' licences are included, so ask when you request your quote.
The 2025–2027 BC freshwater regulations guide is the source for the licence and sturgeon rules; the BC regulations page was last updated on 26 August 2026.

The Fraser Valley is a region of southwestern British Columbia along the Fraser River, and the Fraser Valley Regional District, which covers its eastern end, has six member municipalities: Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Harrison Hot Springs, Hope, Kent and Mission. This page covers the eastern end around Chilliwack, where Voyzo has guides to the Fraser River, Bridal Veil Falls, Cultus Lake and Harrison Hot Springs and one tour.
Tourism Harrison says to allow 90 minutes to drive from Vancouver to Harrison Hot Springs on Highway 1 east to exit 135, and BC Parks calls Cultus Lake an hour and a half's drive from Vancouver. Neither source gives a time for Chilliwack itself.
July and August are the warmest and driest months at Agassiz in Environment Canada's 1991–2020 normals, with average highs of about 25 °C and 55 to 69 mm of precipitation a month; November is the wettest month at 267.8 mm. Season of the Wild brings salmon and eagles to the Harrison River Valley from October to January.
Partly. BC Transit's 66 FVX runs between Chilliwack and Lougheed Station in Burnaby, with service to Abbotsford and Langley's Carvolth Exchange, and Tourism Harrison says to transfer in Chilliwack to the Agassiz Harrison Connector for Harrison (BC Transit lists that bus as route 71). BC Transit's adult fares on 26 October 2026 were CAD 2.50 for a single ride and CAD 5 for an FVX single ride. The BC Parks pages for the parks give road directions only. On the Voyzo private fishing charter a private vehicle and driver collect you at your accommodation.
No. The BC freshwater fishing regulations guide says white sturgeon fishing in the Fraser River watershed from the CPR Bridge at Mission upstream is a catch-and-release only fishery and that all sturgeon must be released. You must also hold a White Sturgeon Conservation Licence on top of your basic licence. Checked 26 October 2026.
BC requires a valid freshwater licence to fish for any species in non-tidal waters. Anglers aged 16 or older generally need a basic licence (the BC government lists exceptions), and white sturgeon anglers also need a White Sturgeon Conservation Licence. Voyzo's private fishing charter page does not say whether licences are included, so ask when you request your quote.
BC Parks' web page for Bridal Veil Falls Park gives no hours or closing date. Its operating-dates data lists the park gate period as 1 April to 31 October in both 2026 and 2027, so winter access is not confirmed: check BC Parks before you go. BC Parks also warns that in colder winters the falls freeze into an unstable ice wall and the base is extremely hazardous.
BC Parks says to swim only within the buoyed swimming areas, that no lifeguards are on duty, that the shore drops off suddenly and that swimmer's itch may be present. On 26 October 2026 BC Parks also still listed a December 2025 advisory that trails and stream banks were affected by flooding and wind.
Tourism Harrison says the Harrison Mineral Baths, an indoor public pool at 38 °C, are open to all visitors and residents of the area; its page lists no hours, so phone the resort first. The resort's five mineral pools are reached with wristbands issued to registered guests, and no natural outdoor hot spring is open to the public in the village. Checked 26 October 2026.
Season of the Wild runs from October to January in the Harrison River Valley, with salmon, bald eagles and events such as Taste the Wild at Kilby Historic Site on November weekends. The 48th Harrison Festival of the Arts runs 9 to 18 July 2027 in Harrison Hot Springs. Tourism Chilliwack's event directory listed events only through 1 November 2026 when checked on 26 October 2026.
Only if you are entering Canada. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says visa-exempt foreign nationals need an eTA to fly into Canada but not to arrive by car, bus, train or boat, and that US citizens do not need an eTA but must carry identification such as a valid US passport. Rules checked 26 October 2026.
According to the private fishing charter page, it is a private, full-day outing of 8 to 10 hours: a private boat and guide for your group only, all fishing equipment, and a private vehicle and driver from your Fraser Valley accommodation to the boat launch near Chilliwack and back. There is no listed price; send a quote request with your date and group size and we reply by email. Ask whether fishing licences are included.

About
Around Chilliwack and Harrison Hot Springs, BC Parks lists Bridal Veil Falls Park, Cultus Lake Park and Sasquatch Park under its Lower Mainland region, and Tourism Harrison promotes a Season of the Wild from October to January, when salmon return and bald eagles gather in the Harrison River Valley. BC Parks says provincial parks in the Fraser Valley have seen exceptional growth in visitor numbers, leading to parking congestion, and its advisory says illegally parked vehicles at Bridal Veil Falls Park will be towed.
Voyzo's Fraser Valley tour is one private fishing charter. According to its tour page, the boat and guide are for your group only for the day, all fishing equipment is included, and a private vehicle and driver collect your group from your Fraser Valley accommodation.
