The Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club was incorporated in 1957 by a group of conservation minded people in the White Rock, Surrey and Langley area. The primary focus of the group was the restoration of the local Little Campbell River which had been severely damaged by years of unregulated gravel removal in the watershed.For the next 23 years, club volunteers not only worked to restore the river and its tributaries, but also raised funds with the vision of acquiring land on their beloved river. The club is located at 1284 184th Street in Surrey, a remote and quiet location.
Volunteer club members built one of the finest facilities in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. In the beginning it was necessary to build an access road into the property and a heavy load bridge across the river. This was followed in 1983 by the construction of the first all volunteer hatchery in the province that including the drilling of a deep well and the building of an extensive water filtration facility. An innovative fish fence was also designed and built by a club member - a design that was endorsed by the Department of Fisheries as the standard for future hatcheries in the province. A nature trail in the forested portion of the property, a favorite of thousands of visitors, was also completed during this period.
In 1994, with the assistance of the local Lions club and countless fund raising events, the club volunteers once again stepped up to construct a large Education/Club House building on the south bank of the river opposite the hatchery. This excellent facility also included a combined archery, 22 rifle and handgun range in the basement.
Today over 8,000 people visit the club grounds annually to tour the hatchery and the nature trail; participate in range activities or attend functions in the main hall.
A Mystery geocache has existed on the private grounds of the club, and recently the club has agreed to adding a few more caches on the basis that they are placed so as to create a zero affect on the grounds and area where the caches are placed. With this in mind you are advised to stay on the main trails, and limit your search to non vegetation areas. Damage to vegetation will cause the removal of the cache.
