Brae Island Regional Park in Fort Langley

Beach at Brae Island

Brae Island is a regional park on the Fraser River in Fort Langley. Located about 50 km east of Vancouver, it has a campground and walking trails.

 

Brae Island Park and Campground

Langley’s Brae Island Regional Park is unique in that it is located on McMillan Island in the middle of the Fraser River. It can be found at 9451 Glover Road, very close to the town of Fort Langley. The park is only accessible via a small bridge across the river.

The island is home to the Fort Campsite, a couple of easy walking trails and the Kwantlen First Nation Cultural Centre.

 

Camping at Brae Island

Brae Island Regional Park also offers camping facilities. The campground includes a day-use area as well as a full-service campground. There are 156 camping sites, a group camping site and 5 tent cabins for “glamping”. The campsite also offers the park’s only designated fire rings.

Rates vary from about $50 per day for a small tent site up to $135 per day for a family tent cabin. For more information visit the Fort Camping website.

Hiking Trails

There are a network of trails around Brae Island. Most trails are wide, flat and made of gravel which makes them suitable for both walking and cycling. Dogs are also permitted on-leash.

The Tavistock Point Trail leads from the Fort Campsite to Tavistock Point, which is the northernmost point on the island. The trail is about 2 kilometres long with very minimal elevation gain. Along the trail there are several viewpoints although most have one step to access the viewing platforms. The trail is quite wide and is made from packed gravel.

The Tavistock Trail Loop is a new loop trail accessible from the main Tavistock Point Trail. The loop trail branches off from the main trail and continues through the forest, over a boardwalk and then connects back to the main trail. Similar to the main trail, the loop is also wide, minimum 2.5 metres, and made from packed gravel.
