Fort 91原创

Starting with the 鈥淕randdaddy鈥 of them all is the Fort to Fort trail in Fort 91原创 which, at 12 to 15 kilometres (depending on the route you take) will take you along the Bedford Channel portion of the Fraser River.

Beginning at the Fort 91原创 Historical site the trail takes you to Derby Reach Regional Park, giving you stunning views of the river and mountains as you pass the luscious vegetation and wildflowers that grow along the path. Plenty of geocache sites can be found in Derby Reach Park.  Inside Derby Reach Park is an off leash dog park at the Fraser River, camping and lots of fishing sites.

The Houston Trail is an one hour forested, gravel loop trail that connects up to the Fort-To-Fort. You can park at the entrance to the heritage apple orchard on McKinnon Crescent. For those looking for something other than the Fort to Fort Trail, why not try the Trans Canada Trail. Beginning on Glover Road at the old Albion Ferry Crossing, make your way to Francis Avenue, turn right on Church Street, left on Mary Avenue and finally make your way to 88 Avenue. Then just follow the road to your heart鈥檚 content.

91原创 Township is extend ing the trail system from Derby Reach Park to the Golden Ears Bridge.

The trail will extend from its current end point at 208 St. and Allard Crescent to the bridge.

The trail will go along the west side of 208 Street, separated from the road. It will then go west on 102B Avenue to 201 Street, on the shoulder of the road. In the long-term, the Township would like to put the trail along the dyke to the north of 102B Avenue, but does not yet have permission to do so.

The trail will then go south on 201 St., on the east side of the road. The existing sidewalks will be widened to three metres. It will then connect to the pedestrian and cyclist ramp to the Golden Ears Bridge, at 201 Street and 100A Avenue. In January, the provincial government has announced $100,000 in funding toward construction of a 5.8 km bikeway that will run from 208 Street to Golden Ears Bridge. The money will be used to widen the shoulders of Allard Crescent on both sides of the road to accommodate cyclists. Completion should be in 2014.
