District of Kent

A year-round playground

The District of Kent is made up of the rich and fertile alluvial floodplain of the Fraser River.   It is a year-round playground where on the same day you can swim, tan, boat or fish at one of the area's several lakes, rivers and creeks, tee-off at one of the five area golf- courses, mountain bike, hike or snow-ski at Hemlock Valley, hang glide at one of two world class jump off points or wander and explore along the dozens of valley floor and mountain trails within the region. Farming and other agricultural uses are the predominant make-up of the rich heritage, history and community spirit of the District of Kent. Area facts
