THE SEMIAHMOO TRAIL

This trail was an ancient Indian travel way linking tribal villages in the south to salmon grounds of the Fraser River.

The first white explorers, led by Chief Trader James McMillian of the Hudson's Bay Company, passed here in December of 1824.

Using the Nicomekl and Salmon Rivers, they reached the Fraser and located the site of Fort Langley.
