With its warm, calm water, Whonnock Lake is a magnet for paddlers and families during the summer months.
Home to the Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club since 1982, the eastern Maple Ridge lake is home to a variety of habitat including colonies of beavers and muskrats, loons, mallard ducks, and numerous small birds.
The lake is stocked annually with rainbow trout and supports a substantial recreational fishery.
Large tadpoles can be found in the shallow water around the shores of the lake.
