Hikes and walks in Langley

City trails

The City of Langley lists the Rotary Floodplain Trail, a multi-use path for walking, jogging and cycling that connects to Surrey, with floodplain parking off 53 Avenue, 203 Street and 208 Street. Portage Park is the main entrance to the Nicomekl Floodplain trails. The Muckle Creek Trail passes Sendall Gardens, and the Power Line Trail runs from Buckley Park east towards Uplands. The City also publishes a 2024 trail map booklet.

Before you go

Metro Vancouver parks close at posted hours, with gates locked when closed, and the earliest closing is 5 pm, so don’t start a long loop late. Wet weather makes boardwalks slippery and trails muddy. Check Metro Vancouver’s park advisories before you go. For events, see events.
