Harrison Mills
Where the valley meets the Fraser. Home to the Kilby Historic Site, Sandpiper golf, and one of the best bald-eagle gatherings anywhere in autumn.
Neighbouring Communities
Hemlock Valley sits above a string of Fraser Valley communities, each with its own character and its own reasons to visit.
Part of the appeal of a place on the mountain is what's a short drive down the hill. Here's the lay of the land — where to get groceries, soak in the hot springs, or find the nearest hospital.
The communities below the mountain
Harrison Hot Springs
A lakeside resort village built around its natural hot springs. Beach, boardwalk, restaurants, and an easy escape a short drive from the mountain.
Agassiz
Farm country in the flats below the peaks. Farm-gate stands, the Circle Farm Tour, and the everyday shops that make a weekend run simple.
Mission
A growing Fraser Valley town on the way up from the coast, with full services, transit links, and a straightforward commute west.
Chilliwack
The nearest full-service centre — hospital, big-box shopping, schools, and just about any errand you can't run closer to home.
