New Westminster Loop
On this loop you’ll ride past heritage houses, explore Queen’s Park, discover Pier Park, visit Westminster Quay, and see the riverfront. The ride is great anytime of the year, especially in the spring when the cherry blossoms are out, and in the fall riding over crunchy leaves.
Fraser Shores
Explore Burnaby’s Fraser Foreshore Park and Vancouver’s River District Trail on this section of the Canyon to Coast Trail. Ride the Fraser River shoreline and look for tugboats, barges, and log booms. There are places to stop and view the river, eat at Romer’s Burger Bar at the foot of Kerr Street, or you can bring a picnic lunch and watch the river traffic go by.
Ridgeway Loop
Vancouver’s Ridgeway Greenway is a linear exploration of a string of parks, walkways, seating areas, and public art. Look around you as you ride — and look up — there’s art everywhere.
Portside Bikeway
Follow the Vancouver shoreline on Portside Bikeway. See the Container Port, tugs and fireboats, and enjoy views of The Lions and North Shore mountains. Explore New Brighton Park’s easy trails and discover the greenways and gardens of Hastings Park.
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.
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!
Quay + Pier Park
Exciting things are happening down by the river! An easy and meandering route along New Westminster’s riverfront with a visit to the new Pier Park on the Fraser River. There’s lots to see and do on the waterfront ― working tugs, barges, and boom boats.
