Follow the Autumn Breeze to Harrison "And All At Once Summer Collapsed Into Fall..." Cool breezes, cozy blankets, healing soaks, and comfort eats are this month's call to action. Hot Springs Soaks: Release the stress of rigid routines with a dip at the Harrison Resort & Spa or Public Pool. Comfort Foods: Soul-soothing bites will give you all the feels. Some of our faves include like the crisp chicken and fries from Harrison Corner Cafe, charbroiled ribs from Milos Greek Taverna, pulled pork sandwich from Old Settler Pub, and creamy tomato soup from Morgan's Bistro Brisk Walks: Explore Spirit Trail or embark on the Heritage Walk to learn all about our storied past. This easy 5-km walk will take you by landmarks and along the promenade. Forest Hikes and Lakeshore Strolls: Hit the trails and kick your boots through fall foliage or grab a hot bevvy and walk Harrison Lake's esplanade. |

Fall brings majestic creatures as the annual salmon run invites the eagles to feast. On November 17th and 18th, the 21st Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival celebrates another season of the winter-gathering bald eagles and salmon, but the phenomenon lasts until early January. Located only 15 minutes away, Harrison Mills offers prime salmon and eagle-viewing spots.
