Find a Trail Less Traveled

Avoid the crowds and try these trail options:

If You Encounter Wildlife

  • Stop and remain calm. Often the wildlife is just passing through and will simply move on if it finds no food source.
  • Do not scream or run.
  • Make yourself look big.
  • Talk in a low and calm voice while backing away slowly.

Trail Etiquette

Always show consideration and respect for other trail users.

  • Do not capture or disturb wildlife as they are protected by federal and provincial law.
  • Make yourself familiar with off-leash regulations and clean up after your dog.
  • Respect nature and stay on the trails.
  • When bicycling always remember to be courteous to pedestrians.

Master Trail Plan

The Master Trail Plan (PDF) is a comprehensive guide for planning the City of Coquitlam’s trail network. It shows proposed new major trail connections in addition to the 95 kilometers of existing maintained trails and pathways within the City. The network of off-road and on-road trails are intended to be complementary for pedestrians and cyclists. The Trail Development Guidelines and Standards (PDF) is a supplement document to the Master Trail Plan. 

This plan will be reviewed regularly to ensure it remains up to date and integrated with other city planning and financial documents.
