Vancouver Lake
The calm, shallow waters of the lake create an ideal spot for kayakers, canoeing, and stand up paddle boarding.
There is a great deal to explore right on the lake including numerous nooks and crannies that are only accessible by small, manually powered water craft. But the lake is also the start of the 32 mile Lewis River-Vancouver Lake Waterway Trail. Pack a lunch! Wait till you see the birds and water fowl!
Vancouver Lake Regional Park
This 190-acre regional park is adjacent to VLRC and stretches for 2.5 miles along the west shore of Vancouver Lake. With 35 developed acres, visitors can enjoy picnicking, windsurfing and sand volleyball.
