So...maybe it's not the BEST time to have a picnic...when we visited recently a lot of the Buntzen Lake picnic area was under water due to high water levels. There are detours around the flooded part of the lake at the moment, just get up with the birds if you intend to try hiking. The trip is estimated from five to eight hours to complete on a good day. (Refer to the first line of this post and edit to read "take a hike".) There are shorter trails available. Bring boots.
The unusually high water is due to a problem with a turbine at the powerhouse and is expected to be fixed in the Spring.
Bring your dog. The current situation is perfect for pets who love to shake water all over their owners. Or walk around proudly with a big stick. (We don't know the identity of the dog pictured in this post, he's just one happy fellah.) They have their own off-leash area to play in.

Canoes can be rented at the store just before the entrance to the park.
