Things to do around Harrison in the Fall

Explore the River

Summer is the perfect time to tour the Harrison River.  Bald eagles and Osprey are still around and by July the Seals are on the hunt for the returning Salmon.  The scenery is amazing and on a jet boat you can get too places few others see.  For more info click on Eco-Tours

Go Kayaking

The summer is a wonderful time to explore a bit of the lake by canoe or head down the Harrison Rive where it tends to be calmer.  When canoeing and kayaking in Harrison Lake its important to remember that it is 60 km (37.2 mi.) long and 9 km (5.58 mi.) wide in spots, glacier fed and is subject to sudden and sometimes strong winds. 

Go Biking

Harrison is a great location to do some biking.  There are a few mountain biking areas like Hicks and Bench lake.   For those looking for quieter rides head into farm country and tour the Valley. Better yet combine your bike ride with a few locations form Circle Farm Tours.  A number are only a few kilometres away and are well worth the trip. 

Circle Farm Tours

Our area is the home of the original Circle Farm Tour established in 2003. Ranging from Langley to Harrison Hot Springs these self-guided tours offer visitors a chance to connect with their food, enjoy handmade arts and crafts and experience the natural wonders of our valley.

Soak in the Hot Spring Pool

The Hot Springs are Harrison's namesake.

These healing waters can be enjoyed by all at the Harrison Hot Springs Public Pool. For more info on the Public Hot Springs pool click here.
