Finn Slough is a tiny Fraser River fishing community located at the south end of No. 4 Road in Richmond, British Columbia. The community has approximately 50 residents who live in wooden houses built on stilts along the marshy river bank. Many of the houses were built in the late 1800s and have decayed severely, while some have been carefully restored. Finn Slough was founded by Finnish settlers who came to Richmond in the 1880s. Many of these residents made a fortune from fishing and ended up as wealthy landowners.

The sleepy and decaying village of Finn Slough has been repeatedly photographed, and it appears on numerous post cards sold through out Vancouver tourist shops.
