While snow might cause chaos for those who can’t (and shouldn’t!) drive in the winter, it offers a whole range of outdoor activities for those of us who can deal with the terrain - and the tires! For retirees looking to explore everything the Valley has to offer while engaging in fun, healthy activities, Chilliwack offers a plethora of exciting options.

Eagle Watching

Each winter, approximately 35,000 Bald Eagles migrate to the Fraser Valley, making it a paradise for bird enthusiasts. These majestic birds, with their impressive wingspans, can be spotted along the Vedder Rotary Loop Trail and Prest Road. To ensure a respectful and enjoyable experience, remember to stay in or near your vehicle, avoid loud noises, and use binoculars or a spotting scope to observe these creatures without disturbing them. This activity is a great way to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of these protected birds.

Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing is an excellent winter sport that offers a low-impact, enjoyable way to explore the outdoors. It requires minimal technical expertise, making it perfect for retirees. Popular spots in the Chilliwack area include Elk Mountain and Chilliwack Lake, where you can trek through snowy landscapes, enjoy the tranquility, and capture breathtaking views. If you don’t own snowshoes, you can easily rent a pair from local outfitters like Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors. Pack a picnic, bring a camera, and you’re set for a delightful day out.

Winter Fishing

For those who enjoy fishing, winter in Chilliwack offers several exciting opportunities - yes, really! The Chilliwack (Vedder) River is renowned for its Steelhead fishing, while the Fraser River backwaters are home to Coastal Cutthroat Trout and White Sturgeon. If lake fishing is more to your liking, Rainbow Trout are available, although the catch rate may be slower in the cold season. Check out the local guides who can give lessons and share their expertise to ensure you get the best experience possible.

Cross-Country Skiing

While not exclusively in Chilliwack, the nearby Manning Park Resort is a must-visit for cross-country skiing enthusiasts. With 64 kilometers of pristine trails, this Nordic center offers a serene and invigorating way to experience the Canadian winter. The trails cater to all skill levels, and the scenic beauty of the Cascade Mountains makes for a truly unforgettable experience.

Relaxation at Harrison Hot Springs

After a day of outdoor adventures, unwind and rejuvenate at the indoor public mineral pool at Harrison Hot Springs. Maintained at a warm 38 degrees Celsius, these healing waters are perfect for soothing muscles and enjoying some well-deserved relaxation. This is an ideal way to cap off your winter activities without braving the cold.

Chilliwack’s winter landscape is a treasure trove of activities that cater to retirees looking to stay active, connect with nature, and enjoy the company of friends and family. Whether you're an avid bird watcher, a snowshoeing enthusiast, or simply looking to relax in natural hot springs, Chilliwack has something special to offer this winter season.
