Directions

A 75-hectare headland of genuine old-growth forest, with Douglas fir and western red cedar over 500 years old, ending at the photogenic Point Atkinson Lighthouse where Burrard Inlet meets Howe Sound. Come for the roughly 10 km of easy-to-moderate trails and the rocky viewpoints at Juniper Point and Eagle Point looking back at the city. Caveat: the parking lot is small and fills fast on sunny weekends, and it's a real drive or bus trek from downtown with no food or services on site.
