About Campbell Valley Regional Park

 

Campbell Valley Regional Park, located in the municipality of Langley in British Columbia, Canada, is a 300-hectare protected natural area known for its diverse ecosystems, including temperate forests, wetlands, and open grasslands. The park's topography features gently rolling hills and well-preserved floodplain habitats along Campbell Creek, contributing to a rich environment for native flora and fauna. Historically, the area was used by the Katzie and Matsqui First Nations and later became farmland before its establishment as a regional park by Metro Vancouver to conserve its natural heritage.

Visitors to Campbell Valley Regional Park can explore over 12 kilometers of multi-use trails that meander through Douglas fir and western red cedar forests, open meadows, and along streams and ponds. The park is popular for walking, jogging, horseback riding, and nature photography. Wildlife spotting is a common activity, with opportunities to see birds such as barred owls, pileated woodpeckers, and great blue herons, as well as other native species including deer and beavers. Off-leash dog areas are also provided.

Campbell Valley offers several picnic areas and is equipped with horse stables and corrals, making it a favored destination for equestrian enthusiasts. The park is designed for ease of access and family-friendly recreation, attracting local residents and visitors throughout the year. Its combination of natural beauty, ecological importance, and recreational facilities provides a distinctive outdoor experience within the Metro Vancouver region.
