E	Elbert Ro on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Walking trails currently closed due to extreme fire hazard. Great place for paddleboard kayak canoe. No motorized marine vessels allowed on the lake. Big lake to explore!
B	B Craig on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was almost empty on the weekday and is nicely maintained. The washroom was a step up from most parks as well. We saw Eagles and a family of Goose.
Z	Zsanett Sherlock on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place! My very first time going here. Family friendly, lots of space on grass and sandy beaches. The water looked like the Carribean, it was amazing. My friends and I went kayaking on the lake. The current wasn't too bad. There is very limited parking here, so make sure you arrive early! If you're kayaking and the main lot is full, just tell the people at the gates that you want to drop off the kayaks at the boat launch so you don't have to carry them in.
j	jacewebster on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Got up early and headed out and the lower parking lot was already full but no worries. Packed our stuff down got a decent spot set up and enjoyed the water. It did get quite busy later in the day like around noon or so I guess, lots of people in the little roped off area but if your a good swimmer or have some sort of floatation device then you can get away a bit. Lots of the shoreline we passed was a shelf so would be good to stop at but it looked like there was a second Beach part further down with mostly paddle boarders at it probably a trail that leads to it as well not sure we floated over lol looked like maybe you could float and find a more desolate but probably more rocky spot if need be, maybe next time lol check out the pics
P	Paul Duby on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic larger lake big enough for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding alike! Lots of exploring to do on this lake, located at the border of Maple Ridge and Mission. There are 2 seperate beach areas, one for humans, and the other for our furry friends. Be sure to bring plenty of water and some shade if you plan on staying the day. One of my favorite spots for sure, check it out!
T	Tapan Shatapathy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice picnic area. Good place to barbecue and kayak, paddle board. Pet and kid friendly area.
C	Crystal Dawn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love this beach! The sand has been imported so it isn't rocky at all! The water is a little cold, gets up to highest 15° in peak summer. I love that it's guarded, super safe for the kids. The dog beach isn't far from the main picnic area but it doesn't matter because it also has a picnic area. I'd say the only fault is it has very limited parking. So you better get there bright and early or you'll be walking kind of far. I'd say it's worth it though! The park staff is also very friendly which is a huge perk!
R	Russell Victor T on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a beautiful lake and beach right beside Hayward lake Reservoir. There are two separate beaches one near parking lot the other a small walk down the dirt road, second beach is a bit more private. Lots of picnic tables and a huge grass field before the beach, really nice large clean washrooms near the entrance. This lake also has an island u can see from the beach. Nice place
