Today, the Cultus Lake Community at large entertains both visitors and residents; an estimated 1 million visitors each year and over 1000 residents. The North end of the lake is an eclectic mix of both residential and recreational properties. The South end is mainly recreational with few vacation communities supported with recreational amenities, The Cottages at Cultus Lake being the most recent development in over 50 years.
With the accelerating demand for recreational property in the lower mainland, Cultus Lake has become and will continue to be one of the most popular destination areas for Lower Mainland residents. The primary attraction, aside from the close proximity to home and hassle free commute, is the warm freshwater lake and endless year-round outdoor activities including:
