Township of Langley

Langley is an important hub for agri-tourism, renowned for its farms, wineries, and culinary experiences. Within the city limits is historic Fort Langley, situated right along the Fraser River. This National Historic Site is now home to the new salishan Place by the River—an arts, culture, and heritage centre developed in partnership with the q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), Máthxwi (Matsqui) and Se’mya’me’ (Semiahmoo) First Nations.

The entire 26-kilometre segment of the ETF in Langley follows the Trans Canada Trail. The route begins south of the Golden Ears Bridge, journeying through the industrial park beneath the bridge and towards Derby Reach Regional Park. From here, it traces the Fort to Fort Trail along the Fraser River to Fort Langley. The path then transitions onto roadways, some with dedicated bike lanes or roomy shoulders, leading towards the Beaver Creek dyke.

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.
