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.
Burnaby Lakes + Creeks
Visit Burnaby’s two largest lakes on this route. Start at Stoney Creek, explore Burnaby Lake and Deer Lake then return via the CVG - Central Valley Greenway along the Brunette River.
Delta Watershed
There’s a very unassuming park in the Delta Watershed that runs along Cougar Creek and beside Burns Bog. You feel as if you are miles away from the world on this woodsy trail with a river beside it. There are options - take the easy short ride for beginners, explore singletrack trails in Watershed and Joe Brown Parks, or ride to Boundary Bay for great views.
Seymour Valley
Ride in the Seymour Lower Conservation Reserve on a car-free paved multi-use trail rolling through the forest to the Seymour Dam. A great ride on a hot summer’s day under the canopy of hundred-year-old trees. Bring a picnic and enjoy the lake view from the observation point, explore the Bear Creek Bridge, peek at the fish hatchery, then return via same trail or try the hilly adventurous Spur 4 route on the east side of Seymour River.
ƛ̓éxətəm (Colony Farm)
The city feels far away when you’re cycling the fields of Colony Farm in Port Coquitlam. The whole family can enjoy these easy trails along the Coquitlam River, especially on a sunny day when the mountains are covered in snow. If you are lucky you will see herons, ducks, and hawks. Go as far as you feel like and explore the many pathways.
