Two trails worth your time
Edge Farm Trail runs 3.2 km return with river views, past the Edge Barn and heritage apple trees, Metro Vancouver says. Houston Trail is a 4 km loop through tall forest, with views toward Langley Bog and a few steep pitches.
Winter rules
The gates close at 6 pm through Dec 31. Edgewater Bar Campground is closed for camping until March, but day use is allowed in empty campsites from November to February.
The Langley Bog section isn't open to the public for safety reasons. Bears and cougars pass through from time to time, Metro Vancouver warns, so keep kids and dogs close.

A cairn marks the site of the first fort. Read why it almost became the capital in our Derby history.
