About an hour's drive east of Vancouver, you'll find the community of Maple Ridge. Nestled on the north shore of the Fraser River and set against the majestic Coast Mountains, Maple Ridge offers a chance to escape the big city bustle.
Maple Ridge is a natural outdoor playground with plenty of room to roam with trails for nearly every age and ability - including wheelchair accessible trails. Boasting some of the best camping, wildlife-viewing and walking, hiking and mountain biking trails in all of British Columbia, the area features a remarkable combination of parks, lakes and trails - including the popular Golden Ears Provincial Park.
The area also offers a chance to explore part of the world's longest trail - the famous Trans Canada Trail - which spans an incredible 16,400 kilometres from coast to coast.
