Planning Your Day on the Fort-to-Fort Trail

The trail takes its name from its two anchor points: the Fort Langley National Historic Site in the village of Fort Langley, and the area near Derby Reach Regional Park, where the original Hudson's Bay Company fort stood before it was moved upriver in the 1830s. Much of the route follows the south bank of the Fraser River. That gives you open views of the water, farmland and, on clear days, the North Shore Mountains. It is one of the easiest ways to understand why the fur trade settled here: the river was the highway.

What to expect underfoot

The path is mostly flat and surfaced with packed gravel. That suits walkers, families with strollers and casual cyclists better than road bikes with narrow tires. Parts of the route pass through parkland and riverside forest. After heavy rain, low spots can be muddy, and the Fraser can run high in late spring during freshet season. Trail conditions and any closures are posted by Metro Vancouver Regional Parks and the Township of Langley, so check before you set out.

Practical tips

  • Start points: Parking is available at Derby Reach Regional Park and in Fort Langley village. Village lots fill quickly on summer weekends, so arrive early.
  • Share the path: Keep right, give a bell or a call when passing, and keep dogs leashed where signs require it.
  • Bring the basics: Pack water, a layer for river breezes and sun protection. Shade is patchy along the open stretches.
  • Make time for history: The national historic site in Fort Langley has its own hours and admission, so confirm them on the official Parks Canada website if you plan to go inside.

Rounding out the outing

Fort Langley village has cafés, antique shops and riverside benches, which make a good midpoint rest. Getting from the trail out to Aldergrove is a short drive east through the Township. If you are cycling, arrange a designated driver or a ride home before your post-trail pint.

Before you go, check what's pouring on our beer list. You can also see which food trucks are parked at the taproom that day. For more ideas on combining outdoor time with a visit, browse the other spots in our nearby places guide.
