About this Park

Located 80 km east of Vancouver, Davis Lake Park is characterized by a small warm-water lake, beaches and a scenic waterfall.

The park represents unique ecology that is not commonly found in the Lower Mainland area, including a virtually pure western hemlock stand and prime bird habitat. The access road into the parking area is approximately 1 km of deactivated road (unmaintained gravel road) and signage is limited.
