Lower Falls Trail | Golden Ears Provincial Park

Recommended by Daria Lysohub

You can reach this view by driving to the end of the park and walking about 6 km along a very green trail with a slight elevation that is suitable for people of all ages. (Note: brace yourself, the majority of recommended places on this page might have the word “trail”). Prepare to recharge with nature as you take your family on an adventure through the magical Pacific Northwest rainforest.

Closer to the waterfall, you can enter an open space where you can see the often snow-covered or foggy peaks of the neighbouring mountains, providing a wonderful backdrop for photographs and contemplation.

North Beach via North Beach Trail

Recommended by Daria Lysohub

To get to the North Beach, you need to follow the North Beach Trail, which is accompanied by a river with many exits to small swimming spots. At the end of the 2 km route, you will find an open area with beautiful natural surroundings and the opportunity to swim, fish or simply enjoy the breathtaking views.

North Beach is slightly smaller, but definitely less crowded than the larger South Beach, which you can turn to a few minutes early from the Golden Ears Parkway before entering the North Beach Trail.

Black Sheep Public House

Recommended by Daria Lysohub

The history of Black Sheep Public House began in 1987 and developed under the motto “Our client is king”.  The hospitality of this place includes an extensive selection of alcoholic beverages (just imagine, there are more than 18 beer options!) and delicious main courses with daily promotions on selected items.

Numerous reviews point out that this pub has a cozy and warm atmosphere, where such experiences are maintained by the cleanliness and courteous staff. Be sure to try stopping by after visiting Golden Ears, you won’t be disappointed.

Menzies Trail

Recommended by Jasmine Lee

The Menzies Trail is a multi-use, multi-direction trail in the heart of Golden Ears Provincial Park. Starting at the West Canyon Trail and ending near the Park headquarters (Mike Lake Road), the trail is 9 kilometres one way. Towards the end of the trail, a beautiful waterfall fed from the mountain streams flows down and is collected in a man-made pool before spilling over and continuing down to the lake.

The trail has a blue difficulty and mountain bikers should be warned that some erosion and lack of maintenance has made some of the steeper sections more difficult on a bike.

The Maple Ridge location includes adventure courses, where players make their way from treetop to treetop by walking across tightropes, climbing up cargo nets, sliding down ziplines, using rope swings, and balancing on wobbly bridges, with heights rising up to sixty feet. Other attractions include axe throwing and a freefall jump from forty feet in the air. This park is suitable for daredevils ages 5 and older.

Alouette Lake is a perfect destination in Maple Ridge if you want a place to cool down on a warm summer day.

Whonnock Lake

Recommended by Jasmine Lee

Whonnock Lake is the perfect place for kayaking, canoeing, or stand-up paddleboarding. Paddle boats can be rented there. There are plenty of areas to sit and sunbathe, either on the sandy beach or in the grass. There are also two docks to jump off of, although I can’t personally recommend swimming for too long as the water is fairly murky. The kids might even be able to spot some frogs and tadpoles along the shoreline!

Whonnock Lake Centre is occasionally rented out as a wedding venue. You can imagine the beautiful wedding photos on the dock with the lake, trees, and mountains in the background. An amazing view, no matter if you are attending a wedding, basking in the sun, or paddling a boat.

HaneyHouse Today

Haney House Museum

Recommended by Jonathan Mok

Built in 1883 by Thomas Haney for his family, this house was inhabited by his family for three generations when it was given over to the city as a historic house. The 145 acres of land originally purchased by Thomas would eventually become the town of Haney.

The house now serves as a museum of family life, providing a look more than 100 years into the past and into the very beginnings of the town.
