Edgewater Bar | Langley, BC


Edgewater Bar, located in Derby Reach Regional Park, is a big attraction to anglers of all ages who come here to set their lines for salmon along the Fraser River. The park sites right across the Fraser from the entrance to Kanaka Creek.

Log booms usurped many of the great fishing bars along the Fraser which has made Edgewater even more valuable in recent years.

One thing that pleases the fisherman is that the picnic tables have inlaid squares of melmac for cleaning your salmon.
