Diablo Lake — Attraction in Area E (Chilliwack River Valley)

This place is a gem. The natural beauty are glimpses of heaven. Stop by the tourist center to answer questions with the very helpful and courteous staff.

I stayed in Colonial Creek Campground which was first come first serve at the end of the season but I think it is by reservation during peak season.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen.

Diablo lake area has 3 view points:- The Diablo lake trail(around 3.5 miles round trip and 650 feet elevation). In this trail you can see snow covered mountains multiple times and some water stream at the base of the trail). The view of Diablo lake on top is absolutely stunning with mountains on the back. The second point is at the base/starting point of 1st trail. You can see the whole view of the lake from the ground zero. The trail views a birds view of the same lake. Point is the vista point. Here no trail is required and is more like a picnic area with the view of a lake from some height. Parking is usually available as its a moving place.
