Burnaby Lakes & Creeks

A ride described in Let's Go Biking

How we describe routes →

Moderate One step up. Some real climbing, or a rougher surface.

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 →

Burnaby Lakes and Creeks loops through the parkland at the city's green heart, 11 to 29 km past Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake, and the creek trails that join them. Family-friendly, mostly gentle, and a reminder of how much forest hides inside the city.
