Mission

Situated north of the Fraser River, Pitt Meadows is safeguarded from river flooding by 60 kilometres of dykes. The extensive network, which is accessible via walking and cycling, is popular among bird-watchers with ample opportunities for wildlife viewing.

The Pitt Meadows section of the ETF trail begins at the Pitt River Bridge and follows the Pitt River Regional Greenway. Along the way, trail users can stop for a picnic at Harris Landing Park before crossing the Fraser River at Golden Ears Bridge. Here, the trail primarily consists of gravel dykes running alongside the Pitt and Fraser rivers.

The information on this page currently focuses on the Canyon to Coast Trail component. Experience the Fraser (ETF) is a recreational, cultural and heritage project that extends along the Lower Fraser River Corridor connecting Hope to the Salish Sea. The project consists of three main components:

• Greenway - The Canyon to Coast Trail

• Blueway - recreational use of the river

• Experiences & Attractions - major attractions and experiences, community amenities and feature points

The information provided here is specifically related to the Greenway - The Canyon to Coast Trail which is the backbone of the overall ETF project. As of 2023, a continuous route has been mapped; however wayfinding signage for the route has not been fully implemented. Community reports, maps, and other information shared here are a resource for communities for informational and planning purposes only. The final route will be determined collaboratively with partners as part of the ETF implementation process.
