- Barnston Island - Surrey by Dad |
| Activity:
Here's a gentle bike ride for the whole family with a bit of a twist.
Barnston Island sits in the Fraser River along the Surrey section of the
river. Barnston's a small island, (only about 2-3 square miles) and
you get to it by taking a 5 minute ferry ride across Parson's Channel to
the island. The ferry ride is free. Actually, it's not much
of a ferry but rather a tug with a small barge tied along side of it.
The ferry ride makes this activity a bit of an adventure for small children.
Barnston Island is flat with not much on there but farms. A road
circumvents the island, and takes about an hour by bike.
Age group: All ages Expense rating:
Free
Details: To get to Barnston Island, go east on Highway 1 over the Port Mann Bridge and exit at 176th Street. Go north on 176th Street until you get to 104th Avenue. Turn right on 104th Avenue and drive two shakes and you should see the "Ferry". Phone (604) 501-5000 for more information. Area: Surrey Season:

Easy, flat bicycling.

Older kids may find the flat, circular road a bit unexciting.
