Minnekhada was once the hunting lodge of Eric Hamber, Lieutenant Governor of BC in the early 1900s and is now a popular park. Follow The Great Trail along the Coquitlam River and join the Poco Trail through Port Coquitlam to the Pitt River dyke. Enjoy snow-dusted mountain views in winter and look for bears in the blueberry fields in summer.
