The fifth-largest city of British Columbia, Canada, Abbotsford is known for its diversity in nature and wildlife. Once you are in this city, you will find rich culture, huge white mountains, and lush greenery everywhere. This is another reason why this place in Canada has the highest record of outdoor activities.
Up for a challenge? The Sumas Mountain Trail summits Abbotsford's Sumas Mountain, gaining more than 700 meters in elevation over 6.5 kilometers in length (each way). The route will take you into the forest, past ravines, over a bridge, through creeks, and along Chadsey Lake before eventually leading to the mountain peak.
At the turn of the 20th century, the Clayburn Company developed Clayburn Village to house the brick plant's employees and their families. Although the brick plant closed in 1931, many of the buildings of Clayburn Village are still standing. Now a heritage site, Clayburn Village offers a glimpse into life in Abbotsford a hundred years ago.
Ready to take your trip to the next level? Despite its name, Skydive Vancouver is located in Abbotsford, so you won't have to go far to experience a serious adrenaline rush. The facility is professionally run and with a briefing prior to your jump, you'll feel confident as you head up into the sky. First timers always jump in tandem with a seasoned instructor, so you've got nothing to worry about - we promise.
While Abbotsford has a robust park system (and you can check several of them out along the Discovery Trail, #8 on this list), Mill Lake Park is a true local's favorite. Centered around the picturesque Mill Lake, this park offers plenty of things to do. Kids will be happy to hear that the park features not one, not two, but three separate playground areas - and that doesn't include the spray water park. Little ones will also enjoy watching the ducks and turtles swimming in the lake.
There's something whimsical about running through a field of towering sunflowers, the bright yellow petals stretching proudly under the summer sky. Abbotsford's Maan Farms hosts an annual Sunflower Festival, featuring an insanely Instagrammable photo op field of flowers, as well as a pick-your-own-sunflower area, so you can bring a little sunshine home.
