Route Description for Radium Lake Trail
The Radium Lake Trail is a picturesque hiking route in Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park that follows closely along the Chilliwack River before cutting south through the valley to reach the pristine alpine lake. This 17.5 km out-and-back is a challenging hike up the alpine valley and offers little in the way of views due to the dense tree coverage along the route. This is still a very scenic hike through the woods; however, the real reward comes when you break out of the forest and into the alpine terrain on the approach to the lake. From here, you will have amazing views over the calm waters of Radium Lake and Mount Webb standing tall above you. Note that early or late season can bring snow on the trail, making it hard to complete. This route can be a bit tough, but it’s an awesome experience that is waiting for you in Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park.
