Fort Langley village to Derby Reach, along the Fraser River
More infoThe Fort-to-Fort Trail does exactly what it says: a flat 8 km round trip along the Fraser from Fort Langley village to the site of the original 1827 Hudson's Bay fort in Derby Reach. Expect waterfront benches, little piers to linger on, and heritage sawmill artifacts that invite moderate historical commentary. Walk as far as you fancy, then let the village coffee be your reward.
Start from the Fort Langley village end (park near Bedford Landing) so the coffee, ice cream and patios are your reward at the finish, not an obstacle at the start. The full route is a flat 8 km round trip, but it's an out-and-back, turn around whenever you've had enough, which makes it perfect for a low-pressure first date. Don't blow past the heritage sawmill artifacts along Bedford Landing (the old hydraulic debarker and the giant 50-foot saw's control panel), there are interpretive signs, benches, and little piers that jut over the Bedford Channel for the best river photos. It's dawn-to-dusk, keep dogs leashed, and pack a layer since the riverside breeze bites in the shade. Finish in the village for a sit-down at one of the cafes.
