All trail routes described here are not necessarily ready for usage.

Existence of TCT signage usually indicates the official declaration of useable trail:

• Some of the signed trail may not be the final route. 

• Please do not rely on the signs to find the route. 

• To avoid disappointment, plan ahead by using this website for updates.

Caution is required using these trails as they are being upgraded. Expect detours where there is trail construction in progress..

The Pedestrian/Cycling/Equestrian Trail (West to East)
(Also wheelchairs capable of using unpaved paths and unafraid to use sides of roads)

Advisory - The Albion Ferry is no longer be in service since July 31, 2009.  This now means that the main TCT routing from the Pitt River Bridge has been changed to go over the new Golden Ears Bridge and the trail will now go along the Pitt River Regional Park Greenway on the Pitt Meadows side and will take in the Fort-to-Fort Trail to Fort Langley.

Connection between the Golden Ears Bridge and Derby Reach Park

Note if you are heading westward into Pitt Meadows, cyclists must take circular ramp to the sidewalk on the bridge in the direction of the traffic.  Walkers always take the other circular ramp to the west sidewalk of the bridge.

From the Golden Ears Bridge head north under the bridge along 201St. to 102B Ave.  Turn right on 102B and follow it to 208 St.  Turn left to Allard Crescent.  Do not take Allard Crescent.  Continue on 208th for about 30 metres to the beginning of the trail heading to Derby Reach.

Note that efforts are being made to make this whole trail off-road.  Construction is being planned to start in 2012.

Fort-to-Fort Trail (Derby Reach Park to Fort Langley)

This great trail that basically follows the Fraser River with a few deviations.  It has great heritage value as you will be able to discover as you read the interpretive signs along the way.

Fort Langley Heritage Trail

As the Trail continues on Glover Road to Francis Avenue there are historic buildings and points of interest on both sides of the street. Of particular interest is the Observation Tower overlooking Bedford Channel at the Riverside Centre, The Bedford House across the way, the Fort Langley Visitor Centre in a CNR Station just across the tracks and the Fort Community Hall (1932), a yellow building on the west side of the street past Mary Avenue. The historic Cemetery is also of great interest. In between, there are many interesting little shops and restaurants.

Turn eastward to Church Street on Francis Avenue. Proceed north to Mary Avenue. Note the historic church and proceed east on Mary Avenue to King Street. Turn north on King Street as you pass two museums on the way to Mavis Street at the Fort Langley Historic Site, one of the birthplaces of BC. The Langley Centennial Museum & National Exhibition Centre, the B.C. Farm Machinery Museum, and the Fort Langley      

National Historic Site are all magnificent and worthwhile stops.

At the junction of Mavis Avenue and River Road you will find a familiar Trans Canada Trail Marker with its red roof.

The ultimate route is proposed to go over the tracks north on Church Street and would then proceed eastward in Marina Park, past property belonging to the Fort and past a number of private properties. This is not doable at this time. You may nonetheless wish to visit Marina Park that is directly across the water from the Kwantlen Nation Reserve and their  picturesque church.

River Trail (to Two-Bit Bar) - Interim Routing at this time

The Interim Trans Canada Trail follows River Road (88th Avenue) to Nathan Creek east dike. (We are hopeful that someday the Trail to Nathan Creek will be off-road. The section along the bluffs before West Creek will become part of the ultimate trail). At Nathan Creek, the Trail is intended to go north on the dike to reach Two-Bit Bar, part of the Glen Valley GVRD Park. This is not doable at this time.

In the interim, we are using the dike going south for 1.6 km (horses are not allowed on the dike at this time). Turn eastward on Marsh-McCormick Road (80th Avenue) for another 0.9 km to 272nd Street and another 2.3 km to Lefeuvre Road. The Abbotsford boundary is 0.8 km towards Lefeuvre Road from 272nd Street. Proceed south from here. Failing being able to use the dike, it will be necessary to follow River Road (88th Avenue) to 272nd Street Road and proceed south to 80th Avenue (Marsh-McCormick Road).
