Rolley Lake Provincial Park is a 115 acre park located an hour away from Vancouver with its main attraction being its lake at its centre surrounded by second growth conifers. The Park offers several different activities including camping (with 64 campsites), fishing, swimming, boating (power boats are not permitted) and two hikes (the Lakeside Trail and Rolley Falls Trail). The Park was named for newlyweds, James and Fanny Rolley who settled in the area in 1888. Come visit Rolley Lake Provincial Park either as a day visitor or to stay overnight at its quiet campground. Listen to frogs, see wildlife, hike around the lake or to the falls and be awed by the expanse of stars overhead in the evening while enjoying everything that camping entails (like s'mores)!
