Nicomekl
I love the name of this one...Nicomekl...from the Stó:lō people, it means the route to go or the pathway. The Nicomekl River starts from a spring east of Langley and meanders west to Mud Bay near Crescent Beach. Explore this section of this long river on Langley’s Flood Plain Trail and loop the nature trails.
Discovery Trail
The Discovery Trail winds from park to park from the west side of Abbotsford to Sumas Mountain. It’s especially nice in the fall with views of Mt Baker. There are two sections to the trail: West and East. Do one, do the whole thing — you will see a lot of the beautiful Abbotsford countryside.
