Rolley Lake Provincial Park, Provincial park in Fraser Valley Regional District, Canada
Rolley Lake Provincial Park is a nature reserve with a circular lake surrounded by second-growth coniferous forest and multiple walking trails. The terrain features forested slopes leading down to the water, with pathways suitable for different experience levels.
The territory was originally home to the Sto:lo people before James and Fanny Rolley established their homestead in 1888. Logging operations later shaped the landscape until the area was eventually protected as a provincial park.
The park lies in the traditional territory of the Sto:lo people, who inhabited the area before James and Fanny Rolley homesteaded it in 1888. The name Rolley Lake comes from this family, and later logging operations also left their mark on the land.

The Rolley Lake trail is an easy 3 km loop around the lake. The park lies 417 m above sea level, 14.8 km east of Maple Ridge, and receives about 2,359 mm of precipitation a year, so rain gear is useful in any season.
