Access to the lake and other family recreation

Very quiet three seasons of the year

Close to nature for hiking, etc

Cultus Lake is well renowned throughout the Fraser Valley as a place to camp, boat, golf (full and mini), and more but to Chilliwack it is also one of our most special ‘neighbourhoods’. Located at the southern end of the Chilliwack district it comes within kms of touching the US border. There are communities at both the north and south end of the Lake, joined together by Columbia Valley Hwy which runs through the Provincial Park.

During the early 1900s, the Cultus Lake area began to build its popularity, which then led to the formation of a joint committee between Cultus Lake and the City of Chilliwack in 1924. This then led to the formation of the Cultus Lake Park Board in 1932, which is still in effect today. At the north end the largest number of homes are on lease land that is owned by the City of Chilliwack, and managed by the Cultus Lake Park Board. The homes and cottages here are a mix of fulltime (over 1000) and seasonal residences on cozy lots snuggled in together along narrow streets and lanes. Although many of these homes were originally built over 60 years ago, most have been substantially renovated over the years or completely replaced by new construction. It has a wonderful charm that is expected in such an established lake community. Just past the Cultus Lake Waterslides towards the east there are two small developments of larger freehold lots, and two established mobile home parks.

At the far south end of the Lake is the community of Lindell Beach, which consists of ## freehold lots. This is a very desirable area which also backs Aquadel Golf Course.

Immediately south of Aquadel Golf Course, The Cottages at Cultus Lake is a recreational development that began pre-sales in 2007. When completed it will consist of 230 cottages made up of 15 different designs. The plan is also slated to include many family amenties including a tennis court, Treehouse clubhouse, boat storage, basketball court and parks dotted throughout.

As in many ‘resort’ areas the real estate has at Cultus Lake, relatively speaking, a higher value than other comparable homes in the nearby neighbourhoods. Click below if you are interested in more details on buying homes in this area.

There are some commercial services at the Lake that go along with recreation area such as restaurants, a pub, convenience stores, gas station, as well as a post office There is lovely old church Cultus Lake Memorial Church, and a community hall that are particularly nice for the year round residents.

Cultus is really an outdoor lovers paradise whether you prefer a quiet stroll around the Lake on crisp October day, a scenic round of golf at either Cultus Lake Golf Course or Aquadel Golf Course, or a brisk hike up Teapot Hill amongst the majestic fir and ferns.
