Central Valley Greenway
A multi-use pedestrian and cycling route linking New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver, the CVG-Central Valley Greenway is a great place to walk, run, or ride. From end to end the 25km route is flat, separated and safe with many parks, shopping and transit hubs along the way. Start from either end, return via same route for a 50km out and back ride, or return on BC Parkway for a 50km loop.
Fort to Fort Trail
Sometimes there’s the perfect ride — this is one of my favourites — the river and valley views are spectacular. The route follows the The Great Trail through farm fields along the Fraser River to Fort Langley. For a shorter ride start at Derby Reach Park, explore the quaint town of Fort Langley and enjoy lunch or an ice-cream! Add on a visit to Brae Island Park or visit the 1827 Historic Fort.
Millennium Trail
Start from Deas Island Park and bike Millennium Trail to the Marina and back, or continue west and explore the town of Ladner. Return via same route or along the slough near Commodore. Enjoy a walk in Deas Island Park on your return.
South Langley Trail
This gem of a ride winds along the trails from Campbell Valley Park through forests and fields to Aldergrove Park and there are wineries to visit along the way. The ride can be done as an out and back, a 40km trail and road loop, or consider a two-car shuttle…all enjoyable!
Stoney Creek + Brunette River
Ride along two waterways in East Burnaby ― Stoney Creek and the Brunette River. You’ll see salmon habitat, a community garden, a dam...and maybe a DRAGON!

Canoe Pass (Brunswick Point)
For a quiet ride with the kids, try Brunswick Point in Ladner. There’s lots of bird watching along the shores - keep your eyes open for flocks of ducks, fishing herons, eagles, and migrating birds. A great ride for those who like cycling on dyke trails amidst wildflowers and looking west over the straight of Georgia.
