Deep Cove
There’s lots to see and do in Deep Cove on this cycling and walking route. See the ruins of the old mill in Cates Park, ride through Dollarton, choose the flat Spirit Trail, or climb the hills and trails of Cove Cliff. Add on a stretch along Panorama for views of the cove and Indian Arm. Explore the quaint Deep Cove village — visit the wharf, stores and galleries, and stop at Honey’s for a famous RolyPoly donut!
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! Combining transit and trails, the route starts at Burquitlam Station and ends at Braid Station, or park near Stoney Creek Trailhead for a 26km out-and-back ride.
Crosstown + Queens Park
Summertime is a great time to head out on the Crosstown Greenway to Queens Park in New Westminster. From 22nd Street Station to Braid Station ride by heritage houses, visit Queens Park, ride the easy Millennium Trail, then explore Sapperton and Hume 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.
Iona Jetty
Just north of the Vancouver Airport is an easy ride with a combo of dyke, road, and would you believe it — a 4km jetty into the ocean! You might see jets landing and taking off, and eagles, herons, and cormorants fishing. There are beaches, parks with picnic tables and it’s all flat!
Minnekhada
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.
