About
Tamihi Creek Recreation Site borders the Chilliwack River and Tamihi Creek. It is split into three separate sites: East (16 sites and a large shelter); West (88 sites); and the Staging Area (No overnight camping in Staging Area), a large shelter and day use parking area).
All are accessible by two wheel drive vehicles. Recreational enthusiasts will enjoy the easy access to the Trans Canada Trail for hiking and the large network of ATV/Motorcycle trails. Great fishing can also be found in and around the site.

There is also a kids riding and training bowl to accommodate the novice riders. Please use the newly developed Staging Area and obey all posted signs.
