Cultus Lake, near Chilliwack: Neighbourhood Guide

Neighbourhood guide · FVRD Electoral Area H and the Cultus Lake Park Board · Cultus Lake

Living in Cultus Lake

Cultus Lake is a lake and a community in the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) Electoral Area H, south of the City of Chilliwack. It is not inside the City. The FVRD says Area H includes Columbia Valley, Cultus Lake and Lindell Beach. Part of the area is Cultus Lake Park, which the Cultus Lake Park Board runs under its own law, the Cultus Lake Park Act, 1932. The Park covers 640 acres. I use three MLS area names for the lake: Cultus Lake North, Cultus Lake East and Cultus Lake South. Official sources don’t define their borders. See all Chilliwack neighbourhood guides.

Three MLS areas

Cultus Lake North, East and South

I use three MLS area names for the lake. No official source defines their borders, so each card says what the official sources do give for that name.

MLS area

NorthCultus Lake North

Boundary
No official boundary for “Cultus Lake North” is published by the Cultus Lake Park Board or the FVRD. The FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide lists Cultus Lake North as a named community, separate from Cultus Lake South
People
The evacuation guide gives Cultus Lake North 1,217 residents in the 2021 Census, and 1,900 in peak season
Park Board
Cultus Lake Park is run by the Cultus Lake Park Board. The Board’s website lists the Community Hall, Sunnyside Campground and Main Beach among the Park’s facilities
Homes
Homes in Cultus Lake Park are on leased lots. The Park Board says the Park has more than 1,500 residential leaseholders
Zones
The zoning bylaw for the lease lands includes R-1 Suburban Residential and R-2 Urban Residential. R-2 is for lots not on the lakeshore, in the older section of Cultus Lake Park
Plans
The Village Centre, the Park’s commercial area at Columbia Valley Highway and Sunnyside Boulevard, has a draft plan and a redevelopment process, described under Planning below
FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide
MLS area

EastCultus Lake East

Boundary
No official boundary for “Cultus Lake East” is published by the Cultus Lake Park Board, the FVRD or BC Parks
Closest
BC Parks says Cultus Lake Provincial Park is almost evenly divided between the northwest and southeast sides of the lake, with its visitor facilities in the southeast portion, and that the Columbia Valley Highway bisects the southeast section
Park
Four BC Parks campgrounds: Entrance Bay, Clear Creek, Delta Grove and Maple Bay. Day-use areas with wharfs and sandy beaches are at Entrance Bay and Maple Bay
Zones
The zoning bylaw’s R-3 Waterfront Residential zone is for lots fronting Cultus Lake. A staff report in the Park Board’s March 16, 2022 agenda package supported a zoning review of height, storey and grade rules in R-3 and R-4 as they pertain to Lakeshore Drive and Munroe Avenue
Hazards
BC Parks warns of steep, dangerous drop-offs along the lakeshore and a sudden change in water depth close to shore
Not found
Published municipal directories do not list a recreation centre, an ALR parcel or a floodplain map specific to the Cultus Lake East area in published municipal planning documents
BC Parks page
MLS area

SouthCultus Lake South

Boundary
No official boundary for “Cultus Lake South” is published by the FVRD or the Cultus Lake Park Board. FVRD documents name Cultus Lake South as a community, with its own Community Emergency Preparedness Guide dated August 2021
People
The evacuation guide gives Cultus Lake South 792 residents in the 2021 Census
Lindell Beach
The FVRD names Lindell Beach as one of the three communities of Electoral Area H, with Columbia Valley and Cultus Lake . Published municipal records do not list a separate source that places Lindell Beach inside the “Cultus Lake South” MLS area, so ask me about a specific address
Access
The evacuation guide says there is a one-way-out evacuation route starting from the south end of Cultus Lake for residents next to the Canada-United States border, travelling north towards Chilliwack or Abbotsford
Homes
ALR: the FVRD’s Electoral Areas E and H Housing Needs Report says much of the non-mountainous part of Electoral Area H west of Lindell Beach is in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact parcel on the Agricultural Land Commission map.
Parks
The Cultus Lake Horse Trail, a 20 km round trip from Edmeston Road to Watt Creek, joins the north and south ends of the provincial park. The Giant Douglas-fir Trail begins 150 metres west of Delta Grove campground
FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide

Landmarks

Cultus LakeWhat people recognise

Name
BC Parks says Cultus Lake was known as Swee-ehl-chah or Tsowallie by local First Nations. “Cultus” is a Chinook word derived from the Salish word Kul, meaning “bad” or “worthless”
Trails
Teapot Hill has a viewing area at the top and a 5 km round-trip trail with views of Cultus Lake and Columbia Valley. The Seven Sisters Trail runs between the Entrance Bay and Clear Creek campgrounds, past a group of large Douglas-fir trees once numbering seven
Wildlife
A recent park expansion added 202 hectares, including foreshore habitat for the endangered Cultus Lake Sockeye and the threatened Cultus Pygmy Sculpin

Plan
PlanCultus, the Park’s land use plan, says residential areas may be used for single family residential use and for secondary suites or coach houses, subject to regulations that address on-site parking, water and sewer, fees, permits and existing Cultus Lake Park bylaws

Planning, zoning and flood

Planning and flood notes for Cultus Lake

Plans, zoning and flood rules can be different for each lot.

  • The Cultus Lake Park Board and the FVRD share authority. The Park Board may pass bylaws for the use, regulation and management of the Park, such as parking, lease payments, garbage and recycling and road management. The FVRD has the power to make zoning rules and issue building permits.
  • PlanCultus, Cultus Lake Park Plan Bylaw No. 1080, 2016, is the land use plan guiding future land use and development in Cultus Lake Park.
  • FVRD Cultus Lake Zoning Bylaw No. 1375, 2016, was adopted in February 2018. It replaced the Park Board’s Cultus Lake Specified Area Bylaw No. 1994 for the lease lands. The FVRD’s Have Your Say page describes a project by the FVRD and the Park Board to review building height and grade in the R-3 and R-4 zones.
  • Village Centre: the Park Board issued a redevelopment request for proposals on April 29, 2025. At a closed meeting on December 10, 2025, it awarded the RFP to Diverse Properties as preferred proponent and authorized it to negotiate with that proponent alone. Its January 21, 2026 agenda announced a town hall meeting for February 11, 2026. Published municipal records list no later update, and the Board says an award does not approve the project as submitted.
  • The Official Community Plan for Electoral Areas E and H is FVRD Bylaw No. 1115, 2011. The FVRD’s housing report says it was adopted in 2011 for the former Electoral Area E and amended in 2019 to recognize the split of that area into Area E and Area H.
  • ALR: the FVRD’s Electoral Areas E and H Housing Needs Report says much of the non-mountainous part of Electoral Area H west of Lindell Beach is in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact parcel on the Agricultural Land Commission map.
  • Hazards: the FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide lists interface fire, flooding, weather phenomena and landslide or slope stability among the local hazards, and says the area has fast-acting hazards such as wildfires, debris slides and flash flooding from heavy rain.
  • Access: the evacuation guide says Columbia Valley Road, which serves much of the populated area around Cultus Lake, is one way in and one way out and carries about 15,000 vehicles a day in peak summer months. The Park Board’s Village Centre Plan says the Columbia Valley Highway is the only access to and from the Cultus Lake Park community.
  • Landslide: BC Parks says the Cultus Lake Horse Trail was closed in August 2013 because of an active landslide, that it installed warning signs and reopened the trail, and that it strongly recommends visitors do not cross the landslide area during periods of intense rainfall.
  • After the December 2025 atmospheric river, the FVRD asked residents across the region to report damage such as localized flooding, water in basements or crawlspaces, debris flow and landslides. Published municipal directories do not list a Cultus Lake property-level floodplain map.

Cultus Lake is outside the City of Chilliwack, so City zoning does not apply. The FVRD sets zoning and issues building permits for Electoral Area H, including Cultus Lake Park, and the Cultus Lake Park Board makes its own bylaws. Send me the address and I’ll point you to the right rules.

Before you buy in Cultus Lake

  1. Understand the tenure. Ask whether the home is on a Park Board lease or on land outside the Park, and read the lease terms before you write an offer.
  2. Confirm the local rules. The Park Board makes bylaws and the FVRD sets zoning, so check both for the exact lot, including any suite or addition.
  3. Ask about water and sewer. Confirm what water and sewer service applies to the exact lot before you count on a suite or an addition.
  4. Check the ALR. Look up the exact parcel on the Agricultural Land Commission map if it is outside the Park.
  5. Plan your drive. Columbia Valley Road is one way in and out, and the bus runs in summer only.
  6. Get a full home inspection. Check the roof, drainage, plumbing, wiring and any septic system.

FAQ

Cultus Lake questions

Where is Cultus Lake, and what are North, East and South?

Cultus Lake is in FVRD Electoral Area H, south of the City of Chilliwack, and the FVRD says Area H includes Columbia Valley, Cultus Lake and Lindell Beach. No official boundary is published for “Cultus Lake North,” “Cultus Lake East” or “Cultus Lake South.” The FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide lists Cultus Lake North (1,217 residents in the 2021 Census) and Cultus Lake South (792) as separate communities. Ask me which MLS area an address is in.

How do I get around at Cultus Lake?

BC Transit route 56 Cultus Lake runs from July 1 until Labour Day, between Cottonwood Mall and the Cultus Lake Marina. The Park Board’s Village Centre Plan says there is no year-round transit service to or within the Cultus Lake Park community, and that residents are largely vehicle dependent. See the route 56 page.

Which school is at Cultus Lake?

Cultus Lake Swílhcha Community School (kindergarten to grade 5), 71 Sunnyside Blvd, Cultus Lake, is the only SD33 school with a Cultus Lake address in the Province’s list. SD33’s Families of Schools list groups it with Mt. Slesse Middle and G. W. Graham Secondary. Check an exact address with the SD33 School Locator.

What parks, hall and library are at Cultus Lake?

Cultus Lake Provincial Park has four campgrounds and day-use areas with wharfs and sandy beaches at Entrance Bay and Maple Bay. The Park Board runs Sunnyside Campground (4165 Columbia Valley Highway) and the Community Hall (4220 Columbia Valley Highway, up to 90 people). The nearest public library is Sardis Library, 5819 Tyson Road. Published municipal records list no library branch at Cultus Lake.

Who sets the rules at Cultus Lake, and what plans apply?

The Park Board makes bylaws for Cultus Lake Park, and the FVRD sets zoning and issues building permits. PlanCultus (Bylaw No. 1080, 2016) is the Park’s land use plan, and the FVRD’s Official Community Plan for Electoral Areas E and H is Bylaw No. 1115, 2011. The Park Board awarded its Village Centre redevelopment RFP to Diverse Properties as preferred proponent on December 10, 2025, and the award does not approve the final project.

Is Cultus Lake a flood or landslide area?

The FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide lists flooding and landslide or slope stability among the local hazards, and Columbia Valley Road is the one road in and out for the populated area around the lake. BC Parks says the Cultus Lake Horse Trail crosses an area with an active landslide and recommends not crossing it in intense rain. Published municipal directories do not list a property-level floodplain map for Cultus Lake. Ask me or the FVRD about a specific lot.

What are the homes like, and are they leasehold?

Homes in Cultus Lake Park are on leased lots, and the Park Board says it has more than 1,500 residential leaseholders. The FVRD’s report says most housing units in Electoral Areas E and H combined are single detached (78%), and movable dwellings make up 21%. These figures are not for Cultus Lake alone. ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact address on the Agricultural Land Commission map.
