SemiahmooTrail

Semiahmoo Trail was one of the first roads in Surrey. Imagine Indigenous Peoples and early settlers walking, riding horses and pulling wagons along “Semiahmoo Road," which once spanned 40 km from NewWestminster to the settlement of Semiahmoo (now Blaine, Washington). Today, the Trail is made up of a combination of nature trails, paved paths and roads and is a peaceful place to walk, whether you walk the entire trail or just a portion of it. Animals also use the Trail as a corridor to travel between Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest Park and the Nicomekl River. Semiahmoo Trail runs through forest and past ponds, creeks and other small natural areas. Watch for birds of prey up above and listen for the chorus of our native Pacific tree frog. Make sure to check out the huge Douglas-fir tree near the 22 Avenue entrance — a designated heritage tree and a testament to the trees that stood here long ago. One of the easiest access points to Semiahmoo Trail is at the corner of 148 Street and 28 Avenue, near the pedestrian overpass. Note: there is no formal parking lot for Semiahmoo Trail.
