Tips from the Community
Lower Trail follows a broad forest corridor through Watershed Park, with tall conifers lining both sides of the path and dense greenery stretching into the ravines below. The wide gravel surface makes for easy walking, while the mostly level route provides a quieter way to explore the park's coastal forest. Like many trails in Watershed Park, it is shared with mountain bikers, so keep an eye out for approaching riders, particularly around bends and intersections.

Watershed Park protects one of the largest remaining old-growth forests in Metro Vancouver, with wide trails winding beneath towering western red cedars, Douglas firs, and western hemlocks. Ferns, moss-covered trunks, and a dense canopy create a classic coastal rainforest setting, while the mostly level terrain makes for easy walking. Although the park is best known for its extensive mountain biking trail network, many of the trails also make excellent hiking routes. Just stay alert for cyclists and follow posted trail signs, particularly at intersections and on narrower sections.

Upper Trail winds through some of Watershed Park's most impressive forest, passing beneath towering western red cedars and Douglas firs that rise high above the path. The wide gravel trail makes for easy walking, while ferns, moss-covered trunks, and dense greenery create a classic coastal rainforest atmosphere. With little elevation change and shade for much of the route, it's one of the best places in the park to slow down and appreciate the scale of the old-growth trees.

The Spirit Trails wind through the forests and wetlands of Ladner with the added magic of hand carved wooden statues placed on the path. You'll also find an observation tower that overlooks the wetlands and is a great place to spot birds and other wildlife.

Out at one end of the Spirit Trails you'll find this observation tower that overlooks the wetlands. While the views are great at any time of year you'll be treated to a wider array of birdlife during the migratory seasons.

These wooden sculptures line the edge of the Spirit Trails. Most, but not all, of them were carved by local artist, Jordy Johnson, who calls them "spirit ninjas".
