Bicycle Paths |
Port Moody offers a variety of on-and-off road bicycle routes for you to explore. Whether you're interested in cycling on roads, mountain trails, or leisurely paths, we have something for you. The Shoreline Trail offers a paved, scenic cycling route along the picturesque shores of Burrard Inlet.
The City of Port Moody is proud to co-manage mountain biking trails on Heritage Mountain with the Tri-Cities Off Road Cycling Association (TORCA). Visit torca.ca for more information about forest trails with technical trail features that are suitable for mountain biking and hiking. In the interest of public safety and to protect City infrastructure and sensitive ecological areas, any unsanctioned mountain bike trails or stunts will be immediately removed by Parks staff and the area restored to a natural condition. Please note that unauthorized trail-building activities are not permitted in Port Moody and are subject to Bylaw enforcement. See Parks and Community Facilities Rules and Regulations Bylaw (BL3321) for more information. |

Alfred Howe Greenway Trail |
The Alfred Howe Greenway is an intermediate/difficult urban nature trail that provides a scenic connection between the Glenayre and College Park neighbourhoods and the waterfront. This gravel trail rises and falls steeply through ravines before descending the bluff of Burnaby Mountain. Stairs are located at several points alongside the gravel trail.

You can access the trail at an upper (south) access point located off the Westhill Park parking lot (203 Westhill Place) or the lower (north) access off the Barnett Highway approximately 100m west of the Reed Point Way intersection. The trail connects with the Trans-Canada Trail at Reed Point Way. About Alfred Howe Alfred Howe was Mayor of Port Moody from 1964 to 1971.

Shoreline Trail |
The Shoreline Trail has two paths that wind along the coast of the Burrard Inlet. One is a paved multi-use path for walking, wheeling, and cycling, and the other is a gravel and boardwalk trail for walking. Please note that bicycles and scooters (human-powered or electric) are not permitted on the lower gravel and boardwalk trail.
This scenic trail starts at the pier in Rocky Point Park and ends at Old Orchard Park. It takes approximately two hours to walk the six-kilometre round-trip trail. This is a great route for the whole family with minimal elevation on either path. To check for updates on trail closures and conditions, visit our Shoreline Trail page. |
