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.
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.
For a great adventure at any time of the year, take a trip out to the University of British Columbia. There’s lots to see and do on this route―museums, park trails, riverside paths, and art. There are many exciting new changes on the UBC campus― greenways, gardens, and contemporary architecture.
Framed by the mountains in the north and circling blueberry fields, this is one of my favourite places to ride and walk. There’s some fun singletrack and rocky sections on this one so take your mountain bike.

Boundary Bay Park is a perfect place for beginning riders. There are many ways to enjoy the easy dyke trails. Start anywhere along the route or do the whole thing.

Explore Town Centre Park and the Coquitlam River on this easy ride. Accessible by Skytrain, the park has many paved trails ― great for beginners.
