To properly enjoy Whonnock Lake, plan on taking the entire family and spend the day there. Depending on the time of year, you should bring lawn chairs, beach blankets, towels, Frisbees, a volleyball, other leisure time toys, a good book, a swim suit, a good quality sunscreen. There is a concession stand just in case you forget to pack a picnic lunch.
Thoughts:
This small lake is a great place to spend the day with the kids. There is plenty of parking but limited beach space. Sand was brought in at some point to create the swimming area so it is weed free and nice and sandy.
Pros:
Smaller lake and is warmer than the others in the area. quite a bit of activities are provided by the parks board like a playground, paddle boat rental and a volleyball net.
Cons:
Small lake with limited area and could get crowded easily. As well it is a place you have to drive to as there is no public transit to this area.
