Stanley Park Seawall Bike Trails

Went for a 20km walk through Downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park yesterday (Canada Day). Beautiful weather and lots of crowds for various Canada Day celebrations.

If you haven't walked or biked along the Stanley Park Seawall, you're missing one of the great free treats of Vancouver. There's actually 2 paved trails side by side - one for walkers and one for bikes.

Because of the huge windstorms earlier this year, thousands of old trees were uprooted and blown over. They've been cleared off the seawall and trails, but the seawall path in the Siwash Rock to Prospect Point area is still closed due to landslides and unstable ground conditions.

As you can see in this picture, there are signs and fences blocking off the closed areas, but some people still venture in to check it out themselves.


Near Second Beach (between English Bay and Third Beach) there was a guy stacking rocks to make the most incredible object balancing act I've seen. Have a look at these artsy creations on the beach:

Burns Bog Walking, Bike Trails

The Delta Nature Reserve consists of 148 acres in the northeast corner of Burns Bog. This area is less than 2% of the total area of the Bog. It is the only part of Burns Bog that is protected. The Nature Reserve has three loops of boardwalks and trails for walking or biking.



Delta Nature Reserve is accessible from the Great Pacific Forum parking lot near the Alex Fraser Bridge. There's a bunch of great trails and boardwalks through the forest with exotic plants and wildlife to enjoy. If you're really adventurous you can follow the trail beside the train tracks all the way to Watershed Park and then down to Delta Golf Course on the south side of No. 10 Highway. Great for biking or walking...
