The Fort to Fort Trail is a pleasant 4 seasons trail linking Fort Langley to Derby Beach Regional Park.

It can be combined with other trails and roads for a longer ride.

Starting at the Fort Langley Historical site, head west on the road following the distinctive sign posts

past the old CN station. You will soon reach the Fraser River. Stop and enjoy the views of Mt. Baker

and Golden Ears.

On the good gravel trail, you soon reach Allard Crescent. The trail follows the road for a distance

before heading back towards the river and into the heritage part of the Derby Beach Regional park.

At this junction you will see a sign indicating the Edgewater Bar trail. Follow it to the main park and

camping area.

For a quick return, turn left leading out of the park and follow Allard Crescent back to Fort Langley.

On this ride I went right along Allard to a left turn onto 208th, then left on 96th and back to the

Fort. I even had to ride the last few kilometres with a slow leak in my front tire.

Directions:

Take Highway 1 to 200th street exit north and then right onto 96th and follow the signs to Fort

Langley, or take Lougheed Highway to the Albion Ferry and park at Albion and get on the bike and

ride into town and the start of the trail.

Sorry directions weren't available. Please check the bottom of the description.

No traffic, nice people, leashed dogs, fantastic smells, open air, clean trail, and wonderful community. Enjoy sangria or gelato after your walk. Does life get better? Downside Zip!

An added bonus is that if you start and end in Fort Langley there are mant excellant coffee spots for refreshments at the end of outing.

Downside there is no incline, for people who want a moderate climb go the extra distance and cross the river Comment its more of a walk in the park easy and great for starting up...or winter walks

Great for people of all ages as this is not a hike, but a walking trail along the fraser river. Trail takes you from the present day Fort Langley historic site to the site of the original Fort Langley further west along the river at Derby Reach. Best views across the river to the peaks of Golden Ears. Downside An urban trail, don't expect unspoiled beauty. Comment This trail is literally 200 feet from my house. In my opinion it offers nothing spectacular as far as scenery or views. The fraser river is not the nicest or cleanest to look at. It's not worth visiting Fort Langley just to do the trail. But, if you're in town it offers a nice walk or is great for jogging. The trail should definitely be rated easy and not average.
