Town Dike Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Town Dike Trail runs along a raised dyke on the edge of the Skwelwil'em Squamish Estuary Wildlife Management Area. This easy gravel path stretches about 1.9 kilometres from Cattermole Slough toward Bailey Street, forming part of the wider estuary trail network.

Walking along the dyke gives you open views across the tidal wetlands where freshwater from the Squamish River mixes with the saltwater of Howe Sound. The nutrient-rich estuary supports abundant birdlife and fish, making this stretch of trail especially popular with birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts.

Crescent Slought

Highlight • River

The trail through the Skwelwil'em Squamish Estuary Wildlife Management Area follows the edge of Crescent Slough for much of the walk. This quiet tidal channel is part of the Squamish River estuary, where fresh river water mixes with the saltwater of Howe Sound. The calm waters and surrounding marsh provide important habitat for fish, birds, and other wildlife, making this stretch of the trail especially good for spotting waterfowl and shorebirds as you walk along the estuary.

Estuary Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Estuary Trail is an easy, mostly level route that winds through tidal wetlands where the Squamish River meets Howe Sound. The trail offers wide views across the estuary and surrounding mountains, including the Stawamus Chief and Diamond Head. It’s a popular spot for birdwatching and wildlife viewing because the estuary provides habitat for many species of migratory birds and fish.
