The Green Necklace connects North Vancouver city parks in a continuous loop of safe and separated greenways. The route was originally conceived in 1907 and laid out in North Vancouver City’s original town plan. Much of the route has been enhanced with art and heritage signs. It’s an easy bike ride, walk, or run.
Tour East Van and visit The Drive on the Adanac Bikeway. There are breweries to visit, murals to see, and restaurants and shops on Commercial Drive. Add on a loop through Strathcona and Chinatown. At the end of the day you’ll see a stream of crows in the sky as they fly home at night.
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.

Here’s an easy ride that has a bonus of a ferry ride! It’s really a barge pushed by a tugboat, so that makes it all the better. Start at Surrey Bend Park and explore the trails, then bike onto the ferry and around Barnston Island. The road is flat and paved, there are views of the river and farms, and it’s especially fun in the fall during cranberry harvest. Bring a picnic!
For those who love birds and ducks and geese (and who doesn’t?) how about a ride to the Reifel Bird Sanctuary on Westham Island? Start from Ladner for an 18km ride or start from Westham Island bridge for a shorter 10km ride with less traffic. There are seasonal farm stands and a winery along the way. Bring a bike lock and binoculars, take a walk on the trails, and see the birds at Reifel.
