Cultus Lake Provincial Park Picnic Area

The Picnic Area boasts an impressive array of facilities that cater to all types of visitors. Whether you're planning a small gathering with family or a larger celebration with friends, there are ample picnic tables and shaded areas available. The tables are well-spaced, allowing for privacy and ensuring that everyone can enjoy their picnic without feeling crowded.

This is totally one of the best places near cultus lake to bring family. This area is child friendly and is perfect for families.BENCHES:There are countless benches near and far from the water and beach area. Depending on where you would like to set up.LAKE:There is an area for diving if some people enjoy that. There is a sectioned off area perfect for younger children and makes it easier for parental supervision.GEESE:We encountered many Geese. In the morning, they mostly minded their own business in the water. By afternoon, they ditched the water and came closer to people probably since most people were eating lunch at the time. Make sure that children are supervised especially while Geese are around.BATHROOMS:There is a bathroom in this area. They include changing rooms but no showers. For the most part they were clean. Sometimes soap refills and toilet paper was missing, but there were more than enough stalls. Which means there were no lines.PLAYGROUND:There is also a playground near the bathrooms. ( Two pictures are attached of the playground ). Although it’s a small playground, it gives children another option during their time here.RESTRICTIONS:We went during July 2021 so there weren’t many restrictions. BBQs were allowed. Nobody wore masks, but social distancing was implemented.BOATS:There were a couple boats that were around the lake but they all kept their distance from swimmers. The Jade Launch Bay is very close by to this area which is why you may see a couple boats go by.Overall, I find this area more ideal for families and would very much recommend.

Beautiful picnic area. We went mid-week and there were plenty of picnic benches to go around. Ample free parking along the perimeter of the lake. Washrooms were decently maintained.

Great place to spend time with the family. Good facilities, beautiful scenery, wide parking space, shaded picnic areas, accessible amenities and friendly people. Recommended place for weekend getaway.

Great little picnic area. Can get very busy during the weekends but you already know that. Nice, warm and calm water. Dog area is great. Lots of room for the pooches to swim and chase sticks.

A fun day at the lake at the end of May, a little over an hour from downtown Vancouver. Still a little too cold to spend much time in the water, but floating around in a donut was great. Excellent facilities as well as grass and sandy areas. We took a portable bbq down and had a nice picnic with a big group of friends. Will definitely try and return when it's a bit warmer.

A great location. Thankfully was not too busy so we had a great view on the lake side. A really relaxing afternoon. Lots of Canadian geese to keep us company as well!

Pristine picnic area. Lots of parking. Lake looks very nice.

Awesome place for a picnic with family. It is hard to get a parking spot after 10 during Sunny weekend.You can BBQ and relax near the water. Beautiful lake for water sports. Love it

The best place for a day picnic or overnight camping IMO. Although we went thr for just a day camp , cooking and chilling on a less crowded weekday. The lake is so beautiful with mountain views and amazing grassland. Just go early to find a parking and a camping spot close to shade and water.
