The Regional District of Fraser Cheam’s wetland. Park is
located in Popkum, about 15 km east of Chilliwack. Cheam
Lake Wetlands Regional Park encompasses about 93
hectares (250 acres), with almost half being lake and
marsh. In addition to wildlife viewing; there are opportunities
to picnic and to hike. Please note that dogs, either on
or off leash, are not permitted within park boundaries, and
boats or flotation devises of any kind are not permitted on
the lake.
The Park is an example of habitat restoration. The original
lake was drained in the 1950’s during the process of mining
marl from the bottom sediments. Ducks Unlimited Canada
and the Department of Fisheries arid Oceans built a water
control structure with a fish ladder in 1992 to allow the lake
to reflood, and to create valuable wetland habitat. Changes
are occurring as the lake establishes, and new wildlife
species will begin to visit the Park. This is your opportunity
to watch this change.
