Barnett Marine Park

Barnett Marine Park, just off the highway in Burnaby, is a place to hike if you want that open space feeling rather than being enclosed by tall trees as in most of B.C.’s hiking trails.

It runs for several kilometres by the Burrard Inlet, opposite Admiralty Point in Belcarra Park and further a field is North Vancouver. Supposedly, it continues all the way to Port Moody but I couldn’t find the eastern link.

The sound of tug boats hum towards Port Moody followed by the lap of waves against a rocky shoreline, breaking the stillness.
