UBC Explorer
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.
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.
Fraser Shores
Explore Burnaby’s Fraser Foreshore Park and Vancouver’s River District Trail on this section of the Canyon to Coast Trail. Ride the Fraser River shoreline and look for tugboats, barges, and log booms. There are places to stop and view the river, eat at Romer’s Burger Bar at the foot of Kerr Street, or you can bring a picnic lunch and watch the river traffic go by.
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!
Lynn Creek
There are two short but fun routes on Lynn Creek on the North Shore. Upper Lynn Creek has a more advanced trail and you can connect to Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve. For a short and sweet ride explore Lower Lynn Creek. There’s a bike skills park in Inter River Park. Add on a short walk down Harbourview Trail and climb the viewing tower for a peek at the working harbour.

Explore the shores of the Fraser River on this loop. The route is flat with varied terrain, a mix of easy park trails and bikeways, and busy road sections with no bike lanes. Start in Burnaby from the 22nd Street Skytrain or Marine Drive Skytrain in Vancouver.
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!
