BC Wildlife Watch Area

On our way to Langley, we stopped at a little place called Kilby Park.

It is located near the junction of the Harrison and Fraser Rivers, and is a popular fishing spot for Coho and Spring Salmon.

There is a small sandy beach with a single boat ramp for launching most fishing vessels, as well as a 22 site campground.



It is designated a British Columbia Wildlife Watch Area due to the large number of Bald Eagles, as well as Trumpeter Swans that inhabit the area.



There is a Bald Eagle Festival each year in BC, and last year it was held in the Fraser Valley. These magnificent birds of prey are drawn to the Salmon runs and the milder climate in the region.


The logs you see in the pictures are the remnants of an old Rat Portage Mill that once occupied a piece of the shore along the Harrison River.
