Had not visited here for several years Pleasantly surprised. Learned more about local history and enough things to see to keep us occupied for a couple hours. Lots of free parking and close to Fort Langley downtown which has plenty of antique shops and restaurants and ice cream shops

I have run, walked and cycled the F2F for years and at all times of the year. From the east end in Fort Langley to the west end at Derby reach, it is about 3.6 km. For someone wanting a 10 km run on soft surfaces, add the Houston Trail loop.
The F2F lies on the south bank of the Fraser River which makes it a picturesque trail. Wide enough for mountain bikes, it is much favoured by dog-walkers and families with young kids.
I think what I like most about it is that everyone on the F2F seems to be relaxed and in a good mood.
For those in the mood to seek refreshment after a walk or run, start and end at the east end in Fort Langley and check out the Lelam Café or Fort Pub.

Museum with 3,500 square feet of exhibits detailing local, regional and Canadian history and art. Gift shop with one of a kind handcrafted gift items.
Wonderful permanent display on the life and development of the local area. Gold Rush years, War Years, First Nations, history of local communities. Really worth a visit and just across the street from the Fort. Current traveling exhibit is WWI with terrific information incorporated about locals who contributed to the War efforts as well as those who were lost in battle.

Eagle Acres Dairy (formerly known as Aldor Acres Dairy) is a family farm located near historic Fort Langley, BC that is open year round for visitors to Milk a Cow by hand, feed the cows and calves and learn about the Canadian Dairy Industry in an interactive guided 75-90 minute tour. The farm also offers visitors the chance to visit many other farm animals. Stop by for a visit!
Visited Aldor Acres Dairy today with my Son & Grand-daughter, we were super excited to see all of the farm animals & experience milking a cow! Although the initial video presentation of farm to table was too long..the rest of the tour was very interesting & engaging.
The farmer asked for a show of hands for each 'family' group then proceeded to say we all had 'chores' to do before moving on to 'play' with the animals. The "highlight" for me was when one member of each group - my 3 year old Grand-daughter in our case, was given a bottle of milk & the goats were released from their pen anxiously bounding towards the row of waiting bottles..it was a very rewarding sight to see!! My Grand-daughter was elated watching the hungry goat chug away while feeding from the bottle she held in her hands.
All in all the farmer, his wife & the whole tour presentation was well worth the $9 entry, they educated, they entertained, they provided insight into the hard work that goes into running a dairy farm today..you'll not soon forget this adventure..not till the cows come home!

First off, this isn't my normal type of stop. I was convinced by my significant other that we NEEDED to stop here after brunch (at Wendels!).
So we did. I was a little sceptical walking in the door, not sure what to expect.
But wow, what a collection of neat and interesting things! We likely spent the better part of an hour in the store, and you could easily spent way more than that looking at all the interesting items for sale.
The mall really has something for everyone, from ornate pieces for your mantle to cool signs for your workshop or old tools.
Really worth a stop if you have a little time to spend looking around.

This cute candy shop is filled with a wide variety of candies, chocolate and cold drinks. My daughter and I went to the store to buy some fudge based on a recommendation by a family member. We were not disappointed. The fudge was amazing! The gentleman in the store was very patient as we decided on what type of fudge to buy and offered us both a sample. We bought the "snickers" fudge and thought it was delicious! I was very impressed with the quality of the fudge and the kind and friendly service we received. I highly recommend this candy shop to others who are visiting Fort Langley.

This is a 4.2 loop trail on McMillan Island. A beautiful walk alongside the Bedford Channel (Part of the Fraser River) which can be extended by walking over the bridge and taking in part or all of the Fort to Fort Trail.
You can access a boat launch for your canoe or kayak, or stop on the beach (this year the beach was small due to the excess of water runoff but that did not stop people from laying on the sand that was available!
This is multi purpose, so you will likely find cyclists will also be on the trail. Beautiful scenery, lots of birds. Not sure if there are wild animals... An enjoyable way to spend the day, bring a picnic to make it even better.

When you visit Fort Langley Village, you must see some of the history by taking the walking tour put together by the Langley Heritage Society. There are 16 locations of significant importance.
It starts at the CN Station and takes in most of the village. It is easy to do, as the village is small and there are lots of places to get some refreshment if it necessary. Near the end of the walk are the two museums and the old fort.
A must do!!!!!
