Critters You Might Spot

While this isn't a dedicated wildlife tour, the Fraser Valley's got plenty of critters that call it home. During salmon season, you might see these determined fish leaping up rapids – it's a real testament to nature's grit. Bald eagles often swoop down to snag a meal, putting on quite the aerial show. River otters are known to make an appearance, playfully ducking and diving near the banks. And keep an eye out for black-tailed deer grazing in nearby meadows, especially in the quiet early morning hours.
