Langdale is a small residential community in
Langdale has no significant industry other than a ferry terminal. It is also the location of School District 46's Langdale Elementary School.
North of Langdale along the Port Mellon Highway is the small community of Williamson's Landing, as well as Port Mellon, home of the Howe Sound Pulp and Paper Mill.[1]
The settlement is named after Robinson Henry Langdale (1835-1908) who preempted land on Langdale Creek in 1892.[2]: 149
Ferry terminal
The terminal has two berths, however only one operates full-time with two ramps to access both the lower and higher-level ferry deck simultaneously. The second berth, with a single ramp only, operates seasonally or occasionally as a dock for vessels not in service.
British Columbia Highway 101 is connected to the terminal through an offramp that leads to Gibsons.
