What To Do at Harrison Lake
Harrison Lake lies in the heart of Harrison Hot Springs, with its main beach and lagoon drawing visitors year-round. Sandy shores line the waterfront, just steps from charming shops and eateries along the strip and at Harrison Village Mall.
This family-friendly destination offers plenty of outdoor fun. To the right of the main beach, Harrison Lagoon features a scenic walking trail, while to the left, you'll find a playground and an outdoor gym with lake views. A forested hike past Harrison Hot Springs Resort leads to Whippoorwill Point Trail, while the easier Bridal Trail and Spirit Trail Loops wind through tall trees adorned with carved masks.
For water lovers, there's an inflatable water park (paid entry) and plenty of rental options. If you’re looking to paddle on the lake, Sardis Outdoor Rentals offers paddle board rentals for pick-up in Chilliwack, so you can take our boards and explore Harrison’s stunning scenery at your own pace.
Rendall Park & Boat Launch

If you prefer to be away from the crowds, wander over to Rendall Park, beside the boat launch dock. Here you will find a more secluded swimming area with rinse stations, BBQ area and a smaller walking path. Relax at the beachfront or enjoy a BBQ lunch while you watch boaters unload and venture off across the 60km lake. For close access to the beach, you can pay for parking and charge your EV along Esplanade, or find a free parking spot on Lillooet Street.
