Your guide to Port Moody’s best trail — and where to go next

If you only walk one trail in Port Moody, make it Shoreline Trail. The roughly 6-kilometre round trip connects Rocky Point Park to Old Orchard Park along the Burrard Inlet waterfront, drawing more than 230,000 visits a year — one of the city’s most-used recreational spaces.

There’s a paved, fully accessible multi-use path for walking, cycling and rolling, plus a parallel gravel path for a quieter walk, including a boardwalk section along Pigeon Cove suitable for strollers and wheeled mobility devices. Either way, plan for about two hours round trip with minimal elevation gain — an easy outing for nearly anyone.

Looking to go further afield? Buntzen Lake, a short drive north, offers a roughly 10-kilometre loop with forest, water views and a dog beach. Sasamat Lake nearby has an easier 3.1-kilometre loop around the water, with the option to extend it into a longer trek via the Woodhaven Connector.

What to watch next: parking fills up fast at Buntzen and Sasamat on summer weekends, so an early start — or sticking close to home on Shoreline Trail — is usually the easier plan.
