Pitt Lake (Trails)

Ambitious A real undertaking. Demanding on a couple of fronts, like rough surfaces plus steady climbing, or a long stretch on busier roads.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

How we describe routes →

The Pitt Lake trails run 20 km one way (40 return) from Pitt Meadows through polder farmland and marsh to the shores of one of the world's few freshwater tidal lakes. Flat the whole way but rough gravel in long stretches, so wider tires help. The birdwatching, eagles, herons, and sandhill cranes in season, is among the region's best.
