Ryder Lake is a small, sub-alpine, farming-based community located in Chilliwack, British Columbia, situated on Mount Thom to the west of Lookout Ridge.[1] A post office operated here from 1926 to 1940. Notable features in Ryder Lake include a former small elementary school and small fire hall.
The community is located east of Promontory. It is home to a great variety of wildlife and is a popular destination for hiking. The community is named after the lake of the same name.[2] The small lake is situated on private property and cannot be seen from the road because of fencing and trees.
