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.

Minnekhada's out-and-back options run 9 to 25 km along a flat former rail corridor and riverside dykes between Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, reaching the marshes below Minnekhada's historic hunting lodge. Wildlife viewing is the draw, from herons to the occasional bear near the park edges.
