Walking Routes

Let's start with some simple walking routes. The seawalls along Ambleside and Dundarave in West Vancouver are perfect for a scenic stroll; while Waterfront Park in North Vancouver provides a bustling port as a backdrop.

For those who want to step up the pace, try a walk through the woods of the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, Lynn Canyon Park, the Capilano River Trail or Cypress Provincial Park.

Mosquito Creek Trail

Mosquito Creek Trail is a wide, gently sloping trail that begins at Mosquito Creek Park, at the corner of Fell Avenue and West 17th Street in North Vancouver. From there, it winds along the creek bank, through the forest and all the way up to William Griffin Park on West Queens. The trail is dog-friendly and, in the lower part, wheelchair accessible. There's parking available near the trailhead on 17th Street.

North Shore Spirit Trail

The Spirit Trail will be a waterfront-oriented, multi-use greenway that will provide pedestrians, cyclists, inline skaters and people with wheeled mobility aids access across the North Shore. This 35-kilometre greenway will connect existing cycle paths and walkways with newly developed trails from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove. The first section of the trail, called the Squamish Nation Waterfront Greenway, is now open. The pathway begins at Waterfront Park and travels through the Mosquito Creek Marina.

Panorama Park

Panorama Park has a paved, half-kilometre waterfront walkway with views of the southern end of Indian Arm, boats moored in the cove and the mountains beyond. It is dog-friendly, and has easy access for those with disabilities. Take Mt. Seymour Parkway east from the Trans Canada Highway to Deep Cove, about 6.5 kilometres from the highway. After you've enjoyed your walk, take a few minutes to explore the Cove's charming village.
