We had the pleasure of visiting Formosa Nursery over the weekend. What an amazing place. They really do take care of the farm and you can hear and see that they seriously take of it and deliver the best certified organic fruits around. It's been owned by the same family for many years. Being blueberry season we spent about three hours there with friends and family. It was a perfect day - not too hot or sunny. The U-Pick section is closer to the far end of the farm and they have a cute golf cart used to take you. The same car will help you haul your pails of picked blueberries back when you call them from the field. If you don't want to pick your own, they already have preboxed fresh and frozen varieties for you to choose from. You can hang out all you want. They have a nice gazebo and a few hammocks strewn throughout the forest next to the blueberry patches. You can get off your feet and relax (fall asleep ???? if you choose to). Is a bit of a distance but if you go when it's not rush hour, it's not that bad. It took us less than 30 minutes to drive out there on a Sunday afternoon from East Vancouver. We will definitely be coming back as well as that others know of this hidden gem. If you're searching for a certified farm to pick fruit at check out Formosa!

Through sheer luck, we were able to snag a campground site that someone had canceled. We had a walk-in site, which I highly recommend if you don't mind hauling your equipment a short walk from the parking lot. These sites also seem newer than others in the site. Some walk-in sites even have a view of the lake! Another plus is the proximity to the trail that leads down to the lake. There's plenty to do around the campground, and while we did make our way to the day-use area, I definitely think that the area around the campground is the best. Gold Creek is great to take a boat, floatie, or a paddleboard out on.

This is a park that brings you back to nature for all family members. Easy to take a stroll along the reasonable flat gravel trails or another option is to go along the river side. Park has few picnic tables for enjoying a nice lunch, also available are toilets along the trail side. NOTE: Bears maybe in the area!

This is a great meeting spot with a great market on Saturdays during the summer months. It’s next to a small mall and a wonderful Rec Centre with a pool. Great place to spend a few hours sampling local produce and awesome artisan markets stalls with a great selection of wares.

Hidden in Maple Ridge, Whonnock Lake is a great spot to spend the day! Nice beach area with a play space for kids.Swimming and fishing. We often take our small motorhome up there and spend several hours parked at the edge of the lake. The lodge is awesome and often hosts weddings and celebrations. It is home to a rowing club and you can often watch them training and racing on the lake.
