"Last Saturday my friend took me to this trail….it is really nice trail, its about 4-5 kms and take upto 40-50 minutes to complete it. It is clean and pet friendly. In middle of the trail…there is patio like settings, where kids can use tower viewer.
I deducted one point for not having clear sign …in the starting there were sign but at the end there were two ways and i was confused where to go.
Otherwise ….nice trail in langley"

"I absolutely adore this trail! It's beautiful walking though the woods, in every season. The terrain varies from hills and slopes to flat curving trail and there also a place to rest and observe the Langley bog. It takes roughly 40 mins to hike at a moderate pace, the loop is about 3km long. This place is where I go to meditate , calm my mind and clear my thoughts. It's also great for dogs to join and to get in some exercise.
Lovely little gem tucked away in Ft Langley ✨️"
