Pacific Spirit Regional Park (from Salal Trail)
★★★☆☆
Located by University of British Columbia is the Pacific Spirit Regional Park where students and dogs owners alike love to take breaks for a walk in the forest. This is one of our most frequented trails and this week, we try out another trailhead.
Golden Ears Provincial Park
★★★☆☆
The Golden Ears Provincial Park is an impressive park in British Columbia with trails and campgrounds that span over 600 square kilometres. At the centre of the park is the beautiful Alouette Lake, a popular spot for water activities.
Rocky Point Park
★★★★☆
One of the biggest reasons we love visiting Rocky Point Park is because it goes along the Burrard Inlet, which makes for a beautiful view basically anywhere you are. At this park, you get access to the park, the beach, trails and an off-leash dog park.
Barnet Marine Park
★★★☆☆
Many of our friends have told us about Barnet Marine Park and we've always wanted to visit it. We haven't had the chance since the park is far for us, but since we haven't really gone anywhere during these unprecedented times, we made the drive out.
New Brighton Park
★★★☆☆
Towards the end of Renfrew St., tucked in behind the PNE, New Brighton Park is a bit hidden, but it is a very popular park. We finally got to visit it and this week, we’re sharing all about it with you.
Lonsdale Quay
★★★☆☆
This week, we're bringing you an updates to one of our favourite places to visit in the Vancouver area - Lonsdale Quay located in North Vancouver, British Columbia and Waterfront Park next to it.
Trout Lake Park (John Hendry Park)
★★☆☆☆
Located near one of the busiest intersections in Vancouver, Trout Lake Park (or John Hendry Park) is tucked in about a 10-minute walk away from Commercial and Broadway.
Lafarge Lake
★★☆☆☆
It's Christmas season and in the city of Coquitlam in British Columbia, it's time for the Lights at Lafarge. This annual Christmas event is a wonderland of over 100,000 Christmas lights turned into installations as you walk your way around Lafarge Lake!
Riding The BC & Washington State Ferries with a dog
We take a break from the usual Overnight Adventures to give you a dedicated post on riding ferries - the BC Ferries and the Washington State Ferries - from the perspective of dog owners.
Kinsol Trestle
★★★★☆
While we were recently staying at Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island, we did a walk on a beautiful man-made structure known as the Kinsol Trestle. Not sure what a trestle looks like? No worries, I didn't either. It’s beautiful.
Old Growth and Living Forest Trail Loop, Cathedral Grove in MacMillan Provincial Park
★★★★☆
During a recent stay at Qualicum Beach, one of the stops we wanted to make was the Cathedral Grove in MacMillan Provincial Park. The park is a glimpse of the Pacific Northwest's stunning beauty and history condensed into a walkable park.
Qualicum Beach, Parksville & Nanaimo on Vancouver Island
Since we're from Vancouver, we love regularly make trips to Victoria. On this special trip, we went beyond Victoria to different stops on Vancouver Island including Qualicum Beach, Parksville and Nanaimo.
Deer Lake Park
★★★☆☆
We finally got to visit Deer Lake Park in Burnaby, British Columbia, which is east of Vancouver and offers a beautiful and peaceful walk around Deer Lake. The path around the park is a combination of crushed gravel, dirt and a stretch of wooden walkways.
Kings Mill Walk Park Off-Leash Area
★★★★☆
Kings Mill Park is a fantastic off-leash area and it is one of the largest enclosed parks that we've been in British Columbia. At the top of the park, there are grassy areas for the dogs to play, but you can also scale down some rocks for beach access.
Skookumchuck Narrows
★★★★☆
On a trip to Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, we squeezed in a couple of hikes with our dog Markus. On this update, we're breaking down the second hike we did - the Skookumchuck Narrows, a hike that offers a very unique taste of British Columbia.
Everett Crowley Park
★★★☆☆
We met up with some of our dog friends at Everett Crowley Park in Vancouver. Everett Crowley Park is a trail that feels like it was made for dogs. They have a nice combination of on-leash and off-leash dogs paths that you can take for your desired length.
Sunshine Coast
On Victoria Day long weekend, we made the trip to Sunshine Coast, British Columbia. It is a ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in North Vancouver and the trip was relaxing and the perfect weekend getaway for us and Markus.
Garry Point Park & Steveston Village
★★★☆☆
Garry Point Park is a large waterfront park in Richmond, British Columbia with lots of beaches that's great for families to spend an afternoon. At this park, Markus gets to explore between the washed up driftwood on the beach and the grassy areas.
