Chadsey Lake is very spectacular.
Hiked it a few times, but turned
back in 2007 cuz of the logging
road. Once I saw a huge trout
caught in the Northern stream,
got eaten alive by mosquitoes in
the summer, had a cool swim and
watched fly fishing, even brought
my hubby up there to enjoy the
view! The Northern mountain trail
is my favourite, steep hiking, a
view of Mission and Hatzic, and
a stream before you see the beauty
of this marvelous lake tucked away
on Sumas Mountain.Aaaaahh, paradise!

Hiked the trail May 16, 2010. Saw the signs about the trail closure due to blasting but continued on anyway. Lo and behold, we made it to the peak, and there were no signs of any blasting, and the trail was in even better condition than the trail below the sign. Someone has built some very nice little bridges, and everything is well maintained, unlike the washed out stairs and washed out cliffs with ropes to grab onto in the lower section! So it seems like someone should remove those signs because they are apparently outdated! We met others at the peak too. Some had come our direction, from the west, and others had come from the east. Overall, a very nice hike. Very cool and refreshing with lots of shade and lush vegetation.

We hiked the trail on 8 May 2010 and the top part was still closed due to blasting. You can get to the lake but then it becomes unsafe to go any further. Still a nice challenging hike.

There are trees down in alot of places, that require some crawling and climbing to get around. The trail drains surprisingly well, but could use some Maintenance for sure.
