Explanation

The Trans Canada Trail is a shared-use recreational trail that will eventually wind its way through every Province and Territory in Canada.  The Trans Canada Trail is a community-based project. It will be owned, operated and maintained by local organizations, Provincial authorities, national agencies and municipalities across Canada.  To the extent feasible, the Trans Canada Trail will be a shared-use trail, accommodating five core activities: walking, cycling, horseback riding, cross country skiing and snowmobiling. The Trans Canada Trail Foundation and its Trail Councils do not endorse the use of motorized vehicles in the non-winter months on the Trans Canada Trail.  For more information, visit: http://www.trailsbc.ca/index.html

The BC Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and the Arts manages a number of recreation campsites in the Watershed. These rec sites are designed to be rustic; therefore, improvements are kept to a minimum. Facilities usually consist of outhouses and log-and-plank picnic tables. For more information, please visit: http://www.tca.gov.bc.ca/sites_trails/index.htm.

There are also several BC Parks campsites at Cultus Lake Provincial Park and Chilliwack Lake Provincial Parks.  Finally, a number of privately owned campsites are in operation in the valley.
