Pitt River Regional Greenway — Attraction in Pitt Meadows

This (mostly) beautiful flat gravel trail runs along the Fraser and Pitt Rivers and is part of the Trans Canada Trail network. It’s the busiest section of the Pitt Meadows dyke trail system, thanks to nearby townhomes, industrial areas, and its convenient links to Harris Road and Airport Way. Perfect for dog walking, cycling, and lunch break strolls, it’s a popular spot for locals and workers alike. The trees provide lots of shade on hot summer afternoons, and the cottonwood trees provide food for yellow swallowtail butterflies in the warmer months. The new Amazon fulfillment warehouse (2024) has definitely changed the landscape and aesthetic and character of the area, increasing the traffic and litter.

Similar to the dyke trails in Richmond, South Vancouver, and Port Coquitlam, this route offers stunning views of the river, cranberry fields, and surrounding wetlands. If you complete the full section between the two bridges, it’s about 10–12 km one way, with bus routes like the Rapid Bus or 701.

Kids will love watching planes and helicopters near the airport, as well as tugboats guiding logs along the river. In the fall, you might spot salmon swimming upstream or even hear a beaver slapping its tail...

Nestled on a no exit road surrounded by a farm lands you find the perfect place to get out and walk with your dogs. The flatish crushed gravel dyke is popular for walkers, joggers and many dogs love to explore. On a hot day it's nice to go near the river in the shade of the trees and watch the tug boats in action. Peaceful way to spend time most everyone I have met so far are friendly. Gets busiest around 5:30 - 7pm...

For me exploring a park is very therapeutic. This particular place is very quite n calm. Clean and broad walking,running trails. Along side walkways is this streaming lake/ river n the sound of it will make u feel like on a beach. Too much mosquitoes so dont wear tank tops n shorts like me. Better to be covered even if it is a hot day. Just enjoy this observation deck or maybe practice...
