Spring in Abbotsford is the moment when the outdoors feels inviting again. Trails dry, birds return, and the valley hums with movement. It’s the season when adventure doesn’t need to be extreme; it just needs to feel real. From forested mountain trails to riverside paths and local gathering spots, Abbotsford’s outdoor experiences are handcrafted by the land and shaped by the people who care for it.
If your heart beats a little faster when fresh air meets fresh views, this two‑day outdoor adventure itinerary is your guide to springtime exploration in the Heart of the Fraser Valley.
DAY 1
Teq’géyex (Sumas Mountain)
Start the day at Cafe Amarti, a welcoming local café where strong coffee and relaxed energy fuel whatever adventure lies ahead. It’s the perfect first stop before trading pavement for dirt trails and forest air.
Head to Teq’géyex (Sumas Mountain Regional Park), one of Abbotsford’s most iconic outdoor spaces. Whether you’re riding community‑built mountain bike trails or hiking through forested paths, spring brings the mountain to life.
Many of the trails you’ll ride here are built, maintained, and cared for by the Fraser Valley Mountain Bike Association (FVMBA), a local non‑profit dedicated to trail stewardship, education, and responsible recreation. Through countless volunteer hours and deep respect for the land, FVMBA helps ensure Sumas Mountain remains a place where outdoor adventure and community stewardship go hand in hand.
After the morning’s adventure, refuel at Lepp Farm Market. Known for quality local ingredients and a welcoming café, it’s a satisfying midpoint where farm‑fresh food meets outdoor appetite.
Slow things down at the nearby Willband Creek Park, a peaceful wetland and bird‑watching spot known for spring migrations. Bring binoculars or simply stroll the paths.
End the day at Lou’s Grill, a longtime Abbotsford favourite. Known for hearty comfort food and familiar faces, this is the kind of place where you can unwind, reflect, and plan tomorrow’s adventure.
DAY 2
Ledgeview Golf Club
Start day two with breakfast at The Fairway Room, where relaxed dining meets course‑side views of Ledgeview Golf Club. It’s an easygoing way to begin the day unhurried and full of promise.
Spring is ideal for a round of golf at Ledgeview Golf Club, where dramatic elevation changes and sweeping views make every hole feel connected to the landscape. Golf here is as much about the scenery as the game, offering fresh air and perspective with every step.
After your tee time, head to Loudmouth Brewing Co. for smash burgers and beer in a laid‑back, energetic space. Craft beer, satisfying food, and a no‑rush atmosphere make this a perfect midday stop.
Wrap up your outdoor adventure with a walk along the Matsqui Trail Regional Park, where the Fraser River sets the pace. Flat, accessible, and scenic, this trail offers views of farmland, water, and sky which makes for a fitting finale to a visit spent following Abbotsford’s outdoor heartbeat.
Spring in Abbotsford invites you to move, breathe, notice, and connect to trails built by hand, landscapes cared for year after year, and experiences that feel both grounding and energizing.
Rooted in Handmade & Homegrown, this is how Abbotsford does outdoor adventure.
