In
the shadows of the majestic Golden Ears Provincial Park
and alongside British Columbia's mighty Fraser River, the
community of Maple Ridge plays host to a variety of recreational
opportunities. The nature lover can ride or stroll the network
of equestrian trails or take a brisk walk on part of the
dyke system.
Nearby
Golden Ears Provincial Park can provide camping, hiking,
biking, fishing and more. Learn more about the forest in
the University of BC Research Forest (Malcom Knapp), or
visit the fish hatchery and cliff falls at Kanaka Creek
Regional Park.
The BC history buff can wander through time on Maple Ridge's
Heritage River Walk. The community's history is well documented
at the Maple Ridge Museum and Haney House. The "Beast" is
another attraction not to miss. This clock tower is capped
by a mechanical horse which dances hourly to remind visitors
and residents to act with environmental responsibility.
A place close to nature but near to a large metropolitan
area, Maple Ridge, British Columbia, can offer the best
of two worlds.
