Chilliwack

Whether feeling the thundering mist of Bridal Veil Falls, camping at Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park, or birdwatching at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, Chilliwack is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream.

The city’s 35-kilometre section of the ETF network begins on the Vedder Rotary loop trail, then continues eastward along the dyke before transitioning onto a bike lane on Industrial Way. As the route winds through central Chilliwack and follows tranquil roads to the Fraser River, adventurers are rewarded with sweeping views of the water and agricultural landscapes. The journey culminates at Ferry Island Provincial Park, where trail users can access the Agassiz-Rosedale bridge, which provides a gateway to Kent and Harrison Hot Springs. 

Note: the Agassiz-Rosedale bridge does not have a pedestrian/bike lane and relies on a “cyclist on bridge” signal sign

The information on this page currently focuses on the Canyon to Coast Trail component. Experience the Fraser (ETF) is a recreational, cultural and heritage project that extends along the Lower Fraser River Corridor connecting Hope to the Salish Sea. The project consists of three main components:

• Greenway - The Canyon to Coast Trail

• Blueway - recreational use of the river

• Experiences & Attractions - major attractions and experiences, community amenities and feature points

The information provided here is specifically related to the Greenway - The Canyon to Coast Trail which is the backbone of the overall ETF project. As of 2023, a continuous route has been mapped; however wayfinding signage for the route has not been fully implemented. Community reports, maps, and other information shared here are a resource for communities for informational and planning purposes only. The final route will be determined collaboratively with partners as part of the ETF implementation process.
