Kent (Agassiz)

The District of Kent (Agassiz), part of the Harrison River Valley, is known for its natural hot springs, hiking trails, sandy beaches, heritage sites, and rolling countryside. It is situated along Lougheed Highway (Highway 7), which parallels the Fraser River.

This section of the ETF trail wanders east of the Rosedale-Agassiz Bridge, then forks towards Hope and Harrison Hot Springs. On its way to Harrison, the route passes through the Town of Kent, which has a museum, locally owned shops, and agri-tourism experiences. For most of its journey, the trail utilizes shared roads and quiet country lanes.

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.
