My update review is based on a recent, 3-night stay in Harrison Hot Springs (December, 2023)…read more While there, daughter and I took several walks to observe and enjoy sights of Harrison Lake, and surroundings. The highlights included: an early-morning walk of views along the Lake, to Harrison Village's source of hot spring water, and other views of the Lake and surroundings, from walks within the Village, along Esplanade Avenue. The cool, and mostly clear weather during our stay sure helped facilitate our observations and enjoyments, and several photos were taken of sights seen during these walks.

Cheam Lake Wetlands is a 100 hectare park that is a great place to view birds, dragonflies, frogs…read moreand other wetland critters. What's really great is that there is no dog walking, fishing or boating allowed, so you it is definitely well preserved. The park is a great example of successful habitat restoration. During the 1950s the lake was drained and the marl was mined from the bottom sediments. Since 1992, a fish ladder was built to reflood the lake. Every year more of the natural habitat is being restore to the area. The new dock and wildlife viewing platform is a bonus. An easy 5k walk around the lake is a great way of spotting this new habitat. Every season is different.

This trail is not for everyone as it is almost all uphill.. it really lives up to its "Teapot HILL"…read morename. However, we enjoyed the shady route with random teapots hidden along the way. The teapot searching distracted from the never ending incline. Limited but free parking. Toilet just a couple minutes up from the parking lot. No real view at the end. Suggest to bring a teapot or teacup u don't need anymore for some fun :-)

The hike begins immediately with an uphill trail trek and feels like you are always going uphill with intermittent flat patches all the way to the top of the hill. All along the hike you will see an assortment of teapots hence the name of the trail that past hikers have left for present and future visitors to enjoy. Our group did encounter a couple of signs warning of active hornet's nest in the area, but never saw or encountered any hornets during our entire ascent and descent of the trail. I would rate the hike as semi-easy consisting of 5 kms round trip in length 250 meters in elevation that took our group just under 2 hours to complete. Our group arrived at 13:00 on a weekday and there were 2 available parking spots out of 10 at the parking lot located just adjacent to the beginning of the hiking trail. Parking is also available on the side of the highway when lot is full.

The River was running 'high & wide' at this time. The lovely weather during our stay, and the Park's setting, sure provided us with some wonderful viewings during our stay.

There are many beautiful sights to see and if you go in October, you will see some amazing colors on the foliage. The hike is certainly not for beginners, as you climb a couple thousand feet overall.

There's not many spots for having lunch along the trail, we saw about 1 picnic table off to the side without a view and tables at the parking lot.

I've wanted to come here for many years, but that got interrupted due to storm damage a couple of years ago. Not all of the tunnels were open at my time of visit, but they may be now.

The path is well maintained with steps and hand rails installed in sections. A rewarding lookout over the town of Hope ends the trail with spectacular views taking in the Fraser and Coquihala rivers.

Return time of around 3 hours for the average walker.

Daughter and I walked this forested trail after breakfast each morning of our recent, early-March…read morestay at the Harrison Resort. The trail runs near / alongside the Miami River, by, and across from the Resort's property. It is very easily accessible at upstream and downstream ends of the trail, with entrances / exits -- upstream via a small, walking bridge over the River, at the far end of the Resort's parking lot -- downstream via a small, opening to the path located near the Miami River 'dike pump replacement building' near the Lake. It is a fine example of a west coast rainforest, and for our walks on the trail (and adjacent areas alongside the Lake, and to the source of the hot spring water) during this stay, it truly lived up to its name -- our early-morning walks were conducted via some rather heavy rain showers!! But once inside the forest, and on the trail, it was lovely, and so naturally quiet and peaceful - any wet stuff falling from above, was soon ignored, and became an integral part of the wonderful scenery. Two new-to-me sights observed during our walks this time -- a park sign (Qwolts Park. Harrison Hot Springs) erected just off the walkway / road near the downstream end of the Miami River, and two photo posters (The Sts'ailes People and The Sa:sq'ets), placed on the wall of the downstream end of the dike replacement building (on each side of the Sasquatch sculpture). As usual, the 'Miami River Bridges Trail Walk' offered a fun, lovely, and easily-walkable forested trail for us to enjoy a walk each morning. An early breakfast, followed by a walk in a close by wonderful piece of forest ecosystem -- hard to beat!!
