Explore Bridal Veil Falls
One of Chilliwack’s most iconic natural wonders, Bridal Veil Falls is a must-visit during Spring Break. The short and scenic hike to the falls is great for all ages, and the cascading water is especially stunning in the spring when rainfall and melting snow make for a powerful flow. There are a lot of waterfalls around Chilliwack, but to find the others you might have to chat with some locals...
Adventure at Cultus Lake
While summer is peak season for Cultus Lake, Spring Break offers a quieter, but still exciting, experience. Take a stroll around the lake, go for an early-season kayak or paddleboard, or enjoy a picnic with the family. If you’re a thrill-seeker, Cultus Lake Adventure Park opens for select days in the spring—check their schedule for details!
Visit the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
For a more laid-back outdoor experience, the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve is a fantastic spot to take in the beauty of Chilliwack’s wildlife. Spring is a prime time for birdwatching, with herons, eagles, and other migratory birds making appearances. The walking trails and observation towers make it easy to enjoy nature up close.
Take a Stroll Through District 1881
District 1881 is the heart of Chilliwack’s historic downtown, filled with charming shops, great restaurants, and, of course, incredible coffee. Take a leisurely walk, browse the boutiques, and stop by our Chilliwack coffee shop for a latte or treat. There are a lot of great restaurants, cafes and shops in the area to keep every member of the family happy.
