The people of New Westminster journeyed over the Douglas Road to Brighton (subsequently Hastings), where swimming in the waters of the Inlet was a favourite pastime. History is repeating itself, in that the same spot to-day is the site of a supervised swimming-pool maintained by the City of Vancouver.
Were there TWO Douglas Roads or were they part of each other?

I actually prefur to label this Douglas Road as Hastings Road.
I live with-in sight of Douglas Road and Gilmore Avenue, in Burnaby. I have been collecting data on the history of this road. I know that in 1871 a Dr. Black died falling off a horse on Douglas Road not far from The Burnaby Village Museum. There was a Shaw Post Office at 4036 Douglas Road, near Gilmore Avenue, from 1924 to 1941. There was a Sutton gas station, in the same area.
There is lots of this kind of confusion about naming throughout BC - at least 4 different locations referred to as Skookumchuck - one of which is the first nation community now referred to as Skatin First Nation, which is along this Harrison-Lillooet route. Also, the actual town of Lillooet is about 100 km from the Lillooet River, which passes through Mount Currie, home of teh original Lil'wat people that it is apparently named after. Must be really confusing for visitors trying to find their way around this area of southwestern BC. Heritagetrails 23:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
OK, one reason I never RM'd this is because of the many potential names. Harrison-Lillooet Trail, Douglas-Lillooet Road, Lakes Route are three of the options; not all. Just found some info on Douglas Road (Lower Mainland) (vs the original proposed dab "Burnaby" because it started in New Westminster and ended in Vancouver, though it now ends at Boundary Road and only exists by that name in certain sections in Burnaby, mostly from Halifax Ave to Boundary but also south of the freeway; Canada Way from Edmonds/8th to Willingdon, more or less, was the southeastern end of it, and Douglas Road was ( p.74 on this document) the original name of 8th Street in New Westminster, from Columbia up. Historically that would be the primary use; as with "Cariboo Road" there are various meanings to it, likewise with Douglas Portage (of which there are three, the southern part of the Harrison-Lillooet route, the short montane "portage" from Yale to Spuzzum....and another somewhere. In modern use, "Douglas Road" is now the "branding" of the Anderson High Line Road from D'Arcy to Seton Portage, though that portion of the route was formerly entirely on Anderson Lake. So Douglas Road needs to be a dab, as does also Lillooet Trail. If BC Heritage is Harrison-Lillooet Trail, and I'd omit the "Gold Rush" part of their name because it's anachronistic, and they use "Gold Rush Trail" for other things, too.
