Map & elevation

Elevation profile

A full-route elevation profile is not available yet.

A reusable trail line has not yet been verified for this outing. Any location pin shows the published location described above; it does not draw the hike or establish a navigable approach.

Getting there & parking

Common approaches are Fraser River Benchland Park and the lower end of Cowart Road. Choose the entrance that fits your intended section and confirm public access before leaving the vehicle. A river-centre coordinate is not a parking area, and the two named entrances should not be treated as a complete loop without a mapped connection.

Map position: 53.85554, -122.74810 · published access park reference point; exact entry not verified. Official City ParkName=Fraser River Benchland Park; OBJECTID=1348; active park polygon. Marker computed inside its largest polygon, checked against exterior and holes. The official park location identifies one documented access area; it does not establish the precise trail entrance or parking location. Multiple access options exist.

On the trail

Follow the established riverside path through woodland and clearings, choosing a turnaround that gives the desired length. The published 5–7 km range depends on how far you continue rather than identifying one fixed circuit. Some sections are rocky and others can become muddy with the season, so the walk is less uniform than a paved urban path. Keep to the public corridor and away from unstable river edges. If walking point-to-point, arrange the second endpoint first; otherwise reverse the same route to the entrance you used.
