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.
South Langley Trail

West Van Exploring
The ride starts at Ambleside Park and winds through the hills and roads of West Vancouver.

It’s a rollicking ride ... part on trails, shared roads, and through neighbourhoods. Give it a try ― you just might think you are on the Amalfi coast!
Shoreline Trail
If you build it, they will come! Port Moody’s Shoreline Trail bike path has been a success since the day it opened.

The path is well marked with two-way directions. There’s lots to see – birds and wildlife, a fish hatchery, two parks, playgrounds, and there are many restaurants nearby.

Sometimes when riding we think...where in the world are we? This was certainly true as we cycled along the Great Blue Heron Way in Tsawwassen First Nation. This is a little gem of a ride near the ferry terminal, there’s a new boardwalk and quiet side streets to explore. Big plans are in the works...but for now we were pleased to see a place where ducks lined the shores and wildflowers bloomed ― a quiet oasis just outside of the big city.
