Stoney Creek & Brunette River

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 →

This point-to-point route follows Stoney Creek and the Brunette River for 13 km one way between Burnaby and Coquitlam, threading forest along streams where salmon still spawn each fall. SkyTrain at both ends makes it a natural one-way ride, and the gentle grades suit families.
