Map & elevation

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

The published circuit begins and ends at Cottonwood Island Park on River Road. Arrange lawful all-day parking and check current access across every linked network before setting out. The historical itinerary includes an Otway Road walking section and several urban crossings, so it needs more planning than simply following a forest trail.

Map position: 53.92251, -122.73046 · published access park reference point; exact entry not verified. Official City ParkName=Cottonwood Island Park; OBJECTID=1430; 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

The described itinerary links Cottonwood Island and the river confluence with Nechako riverside parks, the Otway approach, the Cranbrook Hill Greenway, southern city connections and the elevated LC Gunn corridor above the Fraser. It uses approximately 22 km of the broader Greenway route and is normally described anticlockwise, bringing the Otway Road section earlier in the day. Plan food, water, daylight and bailout points for an outing exceeding twelve hours. The City reports unavailable sections of the Heritage River Trail along the Nechako, so verify current public connections rather than following an old full-loop line through closed or private land. Individual park pet rules also apply throughout.

Conditions & seasons

Seasonal snow, ice and muddy forest sections.
