A few of our favourite places to drive to
Sasquatch Provincial Park
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
Outside of Harrison Hot Springs, this provincial park has a few lakes to visit and a ton of exploring. Make a reservation early if you want to do some camping!
Jones Lake
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
Just past Chilliwack and up a 4X4 road, paradise awaits!
Galiano Island
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
Mushroom foraging, kayaking, or just hiking around, this little Southern Gulf Island is extremely awesome and just a 1 hour ferry from the city.
Bob's Lake
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
One of many spots to hit up along the Coquihalla Highway. Try randomly picking and exit in the boonies and driving down it - you're guaranteed to find a camping spot like this.
The Okanagan
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
Visit wine country and Kelowna or head further North to Vernon and do some camping on one of the MANY lakes.
California
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
A bit of an anomaly on this list of BC destinations, but California is well worth doing the drive at least once in your lifetime. Be sure to dip off the I-5 and see the Oregon coast!
The Sunshine Coast
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
A few small towns (and lakes) dot the road along the Sunshine Coast starting in Gibsons. Spend the weekend over there, but don't be disappointed if it rains!
Paradise Valley
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
Just a ways out of Squamish, Paradise Valley is a nice drive next to the Squamish River and makes a wonderful day trip filled with scenery.
Alouette Lake
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
Located in Golden Ears Provincial Park, Alouette Lake is a great spot for a picnic any season of the year. In the summer they've got some great campgrounds as well.
The Squamish Estuary
By Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»
Barely a hop from the city, the estuary is a wonderful place to go for a walk and find some peace and quiet.
