Current notices from the source

Nahatlatch Forest Service Road impacted and portions of the park inaccessible due to road washouts — Nahatlatch Forest Service Road has been impacted by rain events and is washed out in several locations. Services in the park are also impacted. Of note, the Chilliwack Natural Resource District indicates that the FSR is not vehicle accessible past the 21km mark. As a result, road access to Squakum campground is not currently available. Please visit the Ministry of Forests road conditions page for current information on forest service road conditions.

Increased risk of landslide and flooding in wildfire impacted areas — While not directly impacted by recent wildfire events, much of the area around Nahatlach Park has recently burned. Due to severe wildfires in the region, some areas have decreased tree-cover resulting in greater amounts of surface runoff during increased precipitation (rain and snow). This may be exacerbated by hydrophobic soils leading to additional runoff which could overwhelm natural and man-made drainage features. Landslides, debris flows, and debris floods can result, threatening public safety and damaging infrastructure. All resource road users are advised to check local weather and safety advisories. Drive to the condition of the road and watch for hazards if heading into the backcountry. For more information on p

Park is inaccessible due wildfire V10742 — Get up-to-date information from other official sources, such as the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) , the local regional district , and Drive BC . You can still visit other BC Parks that remain unaffected by wildfire. Find other places to visit on the find a park page.

Facilities as published

  • Each designated campground has one pit toilet. Swakum has two pit toilets.
  • There is a small rustic boat launch next to the Salmon Beach campground. The launch has a dirt surface and can accommodate a small motor boat or car top boat. Power boats are rarely used on these lakes.
  • Firewood can be purchased from the park operator or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary. You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small. Be prepared by bringing a portable stove for cooking. Due to high winds funneling through this valley, visitors are requested to keep their campfires small. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, it is prohibited to gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

Camping information as published

  • There are six different camping areas, located at various points on the road side of the lakes. All sites are available on a first come, first served basis. Each site has a rustic picnic table, rock fire ring and pit toilet. The park is open year-round when accessible. Sites at Francis and Hanna Lake can accommodate one camping party each. The ranger cabin site accommodates one party with the opportunity to stay inside the cabin. Nahatlatch has three camp sites. Salmon Beach has two camp sites. Squakum has eleven camp sites. All sites are situated in treed areas, on the shores of the lake. Most visitors camp in either tents or campers. Because the access road to the park can be very rough, very few camp in trailers or fifth wheels. Long weekends are very busy at this park. The closest phone and shopping facilities are at Boston Bar. Frontcountry camping fees (per party) Peak season rate $20 per night Shoulder season rate $20 per night $10 per night (B.C. seniors' rate) Non-resident fee $20 per stay Additional fees apply for reservations. For more information on fees and on qualifying for different rates, visit the camping fees page.

Experience & practicality

Two transparent read-time scores. Unknown facts never count for or against a place, and a score is never used as filter evidence.

Experience

Published recreation and setting.

6.3/ 10

Documented depth: 10 of 16 evidence weight, from 5 published facts. A low number means little is published, not that the place is poor.

Why

  • Hiking
  • Fishing
  • Kayaking / canoeing
  • Swimming
  • Hunting

Practicality

Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.

—/ 10

Not enough data. Only 3 relevant facts have been published for this record, so no score is shown rather than an invented one.

Why

  • Restroom
  • Cost is published
  • Pets allowed

Partially supported: only one of the two dimensions has enough published evidence, so this record is not presented or ranked as the equal of a fully documented one.

Methodology nmr-score-3.0.0. Park-level activities feed Experience only; campsite facts feed Practicality only. Experience measures how much recreation and setting evidence is published; Practicality is the published positive share scaled by how much of the logistics catalogue has been documented, so a handful of positives can no longer read 10/10. Unknown is never treated as a no. Neither dimension is used to filter search results, and “Best” ordering ranks fully supported records above partially supported ones.

Overview

Why this place?

  • Campground.
  • Located in Fraser Valley, BC at 1,093 ft.
