Fraser Valley Regional District
A valley paradise east of Vancouver, where hot springs, lakes, canyons, and farms make up a perfect weekend nature itinerary.
The Fraser Valley Regional District is located in southwestern British Columbia, stretching along the Fraser River between the Coast Mountains and the Cascade Range. Harrison Hot Springs and Harrison Lake are the core vacation spots, while Cultus Lake, Sasquatch Provincial Park, and the Lindeman Lake Trail are ideal for water activities and hiking. To the east lie the Othello Tunnels and the Hell's Gate Airtram. The Agassiz Tulip Festival takes place in spring, bald eagles can be spotted along the Harrison River from late autumn to early winter, and summer is the best time for outdoor activities. It is about a two-hour drive from Vancouver along Highway 1 or 7, and Abbotsford International Airport also serves as a gateway.
