Quay + Pier Park

Exciting things are happening down by the river! An easy and meandering route along New Westminster’s riverfront with a visit to the new Pier Park on the Fraser River. There’s lots to see and do on the waterfront ― working tugs, barges, and boom boats. Visit River Market, take a boat tour or paddlewheeler cruise up the Fraser, or visit Fraser River Discovery Centre for a great family day.

Vedder River Trails

This scenic riverside trail is easy for beginners and great for walking and running, too. The route stretches from Vedder Crossing to the Vedder Canal. There is parking at both ends, entry points along the trail and choices if you want to meander off the main trail. Add on the trail to the Great Blue Heron Reserve — explore nature trails, an interpretive center, and best of all a heron colony!

There’s something for everyone on the Burrard Inlet trails.

There are miles of greenways in Surrey to explore! This route follows the Green Timbers Greenway and links two easy parks for cyclists — Green Timbers and Tynehead. Most of the route is flat and easy, there is a hill past 164th that’s fun heading east and a climb returning west.

Semiahmoo Trail

Tucked in behind houses and through the woods is an easy gem of a trail in South Surrey ― the last remaining bit of the historic Semiahmoo Trail.  Originally a First Nations footpath and later upgraded to a wagon road, the 5km Semiahmoo Trail winds downhill to Elgin Park on the Nicomekl River.

Town Centre + Coquitlam River

Explore Town Centre Park and the Coquitlam River on this easy ride. Accessible by Skytrain, the park has many paved trails ― great for beginners. Linking east from the park is the Coquitlam River trail, a nice woodsy ride along the river and it’s part of The Great Trail. It’s a good ride for a hot summer evening or in the fall when the leaves crunch under tires. At the Blue Bridge, connect to the Poco Trail route for a longer ride.

Queensborough

Tucked away under New Westminster’s bridges is a quiet island getaway. In summer, the Q2Q Ferry runs from Westminster Quay to Port Royal. With very little traffic, a pathway around the eastern tip and a long dyke trail, there’s lots to explore in Queensborough.

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.

Millennium Trail

Start from Deas Island Park and bike Millennium Trail to the Marina and back, or continue west and explore the town of Ladner. Return via same route or along the slough near Commodore. Enjoy a walk in Deas Island Park on your return.
