Canyon to Coast Trail
One day the Canyon to Coast Trail will stretch from Hope to the Salish Sea along 550 km of trails. This section of the trail in Chilliwack parallels the Fraser River and connects two parks: Island 22 to Ferry Island. The route is also part of The Great Trail. Bring your camera for the stunning views of the Cascade Mountains and farmlands. Pick up a picnic lunch in downtown Chilliwack and enjoy the dyke trails or return via country roads.
Around Richmond
Loop around Richmond’s many trails. Ride along the Middle Arm Dyke then follow West Dyke Trail. Circle Garry Point Park for views over the Salish Sea. Visit the historic fishing village of Steveston on the Fraser River and have lunch at Fisherman’s Wharf. Meander along the South Dyke Trail, visit the Britannia Shipyards and Finn Slough. Return via Shell and Bridgeport Trails for a full circle tour.
Campbell Valley
Circle Campbell Valley Park and visit three wineries — Township 7, Domaine de Chaberton and Vista D’Oro. You’ll see meadows, horses, and wineries — oh my! The whole loop is 27km, bring a picnic lunch, or munch at Chaberton or Vista D’Oro Wineries.
Nicomekl
I love the name of this one...Nicomekl...from the Stó:lō people, it means the route to go or the pathway. The Nicomekl River starts from a spring east of Langley and meanders west to Mud Bay near Crescent Beach. Explore this section of this long river on Langley’s Flood Plain Trail and loop the nature trails.
Westham Island
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.
Canoe Pass (Brunswick Point)
For a quiet ride with the kids, try Brunswick Point in Ladner. There’s lots of bird watching along the shores - keep your eyes open for flocks of ducks, fishing herons, eagles, and migrating birds. A great ride for those who like cycling on dyke trails amidst wildflowers and looking west over the straight of Georgia.
Ladner Loop-de-Doop!
Ladner is a cyclist’s dream ... flat ... scenic ... and fun! Visit the quaint town of Ladner, then explore many trails — Brunswick Point, Great Blue Heron Way, through Tsawwassen and Beach Grove then onto Boundary Bay Trail. Return via 64th street back — what a loop!
Roller Coaster
This is an undulating ride and you’ll see why we call it Roller Coaster when you Wahoo! down Olund hill. It’s 40km of ups and downs, but mostly downs, and is one of our favourite rides.
Blue Heron Loop
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.
Three Bridges ~ Port Mann, Golden Ears, Pitt River
Enjoy three bridges, three parks, and three greenways on this loop around the Fraser River. Ride over the Port Mann Bridge, through Surrey, over the Golden Ears Bridge, along the Pitt River Greenway, and the Poco Trail.
