Entertainment
 

·         Transport yourself right back to the 1920s at the Kilby Store and Farm, an authentic five-acre heritage site along the banks of the Harrison River. Costumed interpreters show you country life as it was early last century. Visit the old-style Post Office, pantry and kitchen, and the graceful rooms of the Manchester House Hotel above the Store. On the farm you’ll meet the chickens, cows, sheep and pigs, and find a terrific tree house in the Orchard Playground.

·         Housed in the oldest wooden railroad station still in existence in BC, at over 100 years old, the Agassiz-Harrison Museum offers a unique look into the area’s past. The museum features displays of period clothing, artifacts, photos of pioneer life, and changing displays of life in the area over the last 100 years, starting with the flood of 1894 and the following year’s incorporation.

·         Experience the exhilaration of catching the Big One, the White sturgeon, the largest freshwater fish in North America. Growing to over 1,000 lbs, many sturgeon in the 100 to 200 lb range are caught in the Fraser River, testing the skills of the best anglers skills with their long powerful runs. Chinook and sockeye salmon also return to the Fraser River in large numbers every summer.

·         Golf: Golfers have two courses to choose from in Bridal Falls; The Falls Golf and Country Club, a dramatic 18-hole, par-71 championship course with panoramic views of the Fraser Valley, Mount Cheam and the Coast Mountain Range, and the attractive 9-hole Mountain Brook Golf Course set in a natural forest at the base of Cheam Mountain.  Sandpiper Golf Club this course, set along the Harrison River, offers natural water hazards that are also scenic. With the course framed by fir and cedar laden mountains, it may be hard to keep your eye on the ball.

·         There's camping west of Harrison Lake on Harrison Bay, where 38 vehicle/tent campsites are located just south of Hwy 7 beside the beach at Kilby Provincial Park. A fee of $10 is charged April to October. The setting is lovely, but there's not much privacy between sites here. The adjacent boat launch is popular with anglers catching salmon, trout and sturgeon. Trumpeter swans and a more than a thousand bald eagles that arrive every year feed on the annual salmon run in the fall.

·         Sasquatch Provincial Park is named after the region's most famous semi-mythical beast. Enjoy scenic trails and backwoods hiking in this park, one of the finest in British Columbia. The park touches on four lakes, two of which - Deer and Hicks - are well suited to exploring in small boats. Trout fishing is popular in these two stocked lakes. Paddle to isolated Sandy Beach at Hick's south end, well worth the journey. Miles of logging and Hydro power roads run through the hills surrounding the two lakes, perfect for a moderately challenging but lengthy mountain bike ride. An easy walking trail loops around Hicks Lake. If you camp at Deer Lake, watch for white-coated mountain Goats on the steep-sided slopes of Slollicum Bluffs that rise above the lake's north side. Early in the morning is the best time to see them as they pick their way along the bluffs.

·         One of the area’s most beautiful views is the cascading Bridal Veil Falls in the scenic and picturesque Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park south of the town of Bridal Falls. The falls are a short 15-minute walk along a well-modulated trail.

·         Come and experience first-hand the friendly atmosphere of the small-town country fair at the Agassiz Fairgrounds during September. The Agassiz Fall Fair and Corn Festival, rated one of the best Country Fairs in BC, promises something for everyone. Festivities include rides, games, a Talent Show, the Saturday morning parade through downtown Agassiz, and a Petting Zoo.
