Brae Island Regional Park

The short walk to Tavistock Point on Brae Island offers scenic views of the surrounding Fraser River and distant Coastal Mountain range. The route is a wide gravel trail that is perfect for families and campers staying at the Fort Camping campsite.

From the gravel parking lot, walk past the map of the area and along the gravel trail as it follows along the boundary with the campsite. After passing the end of the campsite, the trail briefly follows near the shoreline before reaching an open picnic area. Continue along the wooded trail until you reach a 4-way junction. Go left for a short walk to view the first viewpoint of the Fraser River on the west side of the island. Return to the trail and go left towards Tavistock Point.

A short distance later, you reach another junction with a short trail on your left to the second viewpoint. After checking out this view, return to the trail and walk past the Tavistock Loop junction, continuing a short distance to the end of the trail. Tavistock Point marks the northern tip of Brae Island and on a clear day has scenic views of the Fraser River and both shorelines.

Once you've soaked in the view, walk back along the trail to the Tavistock Loop junction and go left for an alternate return route. Not far along, you reach a view point of the distant Coastal Mountain range. Continue walking along the loop as it weaves through the forest and across small wooden bridges before meeting up with the main trail. Go left at the junction and walk back, passing the picnic tables and alongside the campsite before reaching the gravel parking lot.
