GOLDEN EARS PROVINCIAL PARK REVIEWS

Golden Ears Park is a place I can always be amazed! The mountain view, lake side picnics, water sports and hikes make Golden Ears park a fantastic destination for families, loungers, and adventurers! I personally have been boating on Alouette Lake in Golden Ears and have hiked the various trails including the one that takes you right to the peak! My friend and I backpacked to the top in Early October and the weather was great for camping! There are limited pads on top but a few flat spots are around where you can also set up a tent. There is also a fresh water source that you can drink from which was definitely needed as we ran outta water on the day we got up. I highly recommend visiting this park!

This hike was absolutely unreal! You get a nice mix of flat and elevation, some tricky paths that get a bit narrow and muddy but overall it is a very pleasant hike. There are some pretty beautiful view points that even with the rain and fog made the entire trip enjoyable. The waterfalls are a must see as is the viewpoint with the view of the mountain peaks. There is lots of drinking water on the first part of the trail. The trees are unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Highly recommend!

Great park for hiking and camping. Love the shades of green. Can be a bit busy in summer.

KANAKA CREEK REGIONAL PARK REVIEWS

I grew up in the area ,so bringing my son now that he’s grown up and the dogs to a favourite spot of mine for a walk is so amazing! We brought our dogs and they loved it too! Check it out! It’s very peaceful , and across the street is a beautiful trail we have walked along also and got some amazing photos!! Check out one of my go to places to get away and listen to the water and the birds.

Went for a walk with the dog, gf and my mom here. Absolutely beautiful spot with alot of history! So many picnic tables and spots to stop and enjoy the view. The trails are well taken care of. Friendly people out there walking there dogs etc. Loads of parking. I enjoyed the bridge and the look out spots. Too cool. Looking for a good spot to check out some scenery.....this is it.

A west coast oasis on the edge of Maple Ridge. Lovey amenities but the trails, picnic areas, riverside access, and hatchery are ideal. Perfect too for out of towners who want to feel what our nature is like. Trails are great for kids, nothing too long at all. And the water is shallow and safe. Not a good spot to view Cliff Falls from however.

THORNHILL TRAILS REVIEWS

I love the trails here, they are really flowy and you can probably spend hours here having a blast. Something I will say though, I'd to take the climbing trail (blazing saddles) rather then the gravel climb because it's more interesting and actually faster. The new signage is also really nice and readable so you don't have to worry about getting lost.

Awesome place for mountain biking, great for beginners as well as advanced riders! A trail map is provided at the entrance to the mountain, as well as one on the top. Majority of the mountain bike trails are rated blue, with some being black. If you are a hiker, please stay on the designated hiking trails, and not the mountain bike trails.

I did the easy trail and had a great walk in the woods. It is very well maintained everything is kept up to date it was an absolute beautiful hike walk through the woods.
