Anyone can do the Rice Lake loop -- it's actually wheelchair accessible! There are benches scattered around the lake, as well as an outhouse. You can access it from Dempsey and Lynn Valley Road (by The End of the Line General Store), near the entrance of Lynn Headwaters Regional Park, or from the park itself. Because it's a short, easy walk, I sometimes add it on after I hike Lynn Loop to make it a longer hike. [Yelp collections: Hiking]

Really nice lake in the Lynn Valley area…read more Parking is available in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve lot. Not sure if there is any closer parking. The lake itself is surrounded by trails. Nice and easy to walk around. There is also a dock that cuts across a section of the lake. Great for fishing. Apparently there are trout in here. Great place for photos too. I didn't see any rice here. Maybe it's named after some guy or a nearby sushi restaurant.

The paths are almost all flat, easy, wide and well marked. Can be a quite deserted/quiet on weekdays. One thing I don't like about this park is how isolated the main parking lot feels on weekdays. Signs indicate car break-ins are an issue. I don't think I'd feel safe coming alone as a female if it was a weekday or if it wasn't bright. But a very nice and walkable park on bright, sunny days w friends/family.

Two beaches with clear water which is very warm. A concession store opens maybe around 10am and they serves hot food like fish and chips and burgers. That's very convenient for swimmers or cyclists. My impression for those beaches were for family or a group. If you walked into the trail, you will find a small groud(beach) for 1-3 people. I preferred to stay there for chil...

Part One We arrived and parked within the main parking lot…read moredirectly in front of the area by the Pier, just before 9:30 am yesterday. A first-time experience for my lady and I to the Park - the daughter had been there a couple of times before, but a good while ago. Daughter and I had plans to walk the Park's walkaways and trails, and Mom to stay behind, to take in the views near the pier and surrounding areas, waterfowl activities, and generally to enjoy her time outside in the warm sunshine and fresh air of the beautiful morning we had on the go. A visit to the 'Recreational Pier' was first on the walking agenda. The walk out on the structure offered views of the pier itself (lined from one end to the other, with colourful flowered-planters, and benches to sit and take in sights), and views of the water and mudflats below (with lots of waterfowl resting and feeding), several boats, the boat launching area, and full extent views of both sides of Burrard Inlet as seen at this location. A splendid start to our morning walks. Second on the walking agenda was the walkway along the shoreline, to the start of the 'Shoreline Trail'. We did not make any stop in between -- at the 'Playgrounds', or picnic lunching areas -- just caught some rather distant views, we had forested-trails on our minds. The walkway itself though, offered a very plesant, well-treed walk, with several good viewing spots of the Inlet along the route. We walked with no stops other than enough time along the way to view, catch, and capture some of the natural sights. Part Two Walking the 'Shoreline Trail'. We continued our walk, and when we reached the entrance(s) to the 'Shoreline Trail' we headed left into the route closest to the actual shoreline. This took us into a well-groomed dirt, walking only trail. The route to the right was a paved roadway, and much more popular with family groups, and such. The route taken was definitely 'the' right one for us, and we sure enjoyed it. Heavily-forested, mostly flat, with only a couple of 'stair walks' up slopes, some interesting boardwalks over wet areas, and several lookout spots to stand or sit, and view the sights of the inlet along the way. We walked as far as a smaller trail off the main trail that took us inland, up and into the 'Noons Creek Hatchery' site. After an interesting stop and visit there (review forthcomcoming), we returned to the main trail, and walked back to Rock Point. Next on the walking agenda -- Part Three - walking to the end of 'Shoreline Trail' (soon, I hope!).

Being at camp this week, and observing you both I grew an appreciation for all that you do. You both provided a fun and positive experience! Glenn you provided a good foundation of life skills for the children that many would not otherwise learn. There was a good balance between educating, and hands-on learning for the children. Sandi was very supportive, and encouraging to the children. Most importantly, the children were excited to come back every day to learn more & make memories! I have seen my Son's confidence grow with casting, catching, and cleaning a fish! I would highly recommend Silverbrook Farm Summer Camp to my friends & family!

They provide fishing rod and bait, just show up and have some fun! They sell ice and fish bag if you are not prepared to take fish home (like us...) The owner is also so friendly, answered all our questions and also helped us to unhook the fish (when we couldn't figure out how to take it off at all...) We tried fishing at lake before, so hard to do it without help. This is much better to try out what it's like to fish!

Plenty of people come here and book designated picnic tables to celebrate special occasions as many of them have bbq option. Else just the lake side view for any celebration is enough.

So you got to come back to it again and again. Enjoy hikes with beautiful lake view but be careful around here as it is pretty wild and some of the trails are not for first timers.

The backcountry alder flats campsite has no designated tent pads and a broken door at the outhouse. There are only 6 tent pads at panorama ridge and the booking system has changed from previous years so you have to book the specific site rather than the general backcountry area. When we camped at panorama ridge, there was another 6+ tents scattered throughout the top not on tentpads on a Wednesday in the summer. The wind gets really bad at the top and there are mice that know to hunt for food in the emergency shelter overnight.

Start your loop from Semiahmoo Resort, take the paved path by the marina on the left side, and stop by the Alaska Packers Association Museum for a breather. Then, stroll back along the beach, where you can swap bird-watching on Drayton Harbor's side for seal-spotting in Semiahmoo Bay. And trust me, there's no shortage of seals--they're practically putting on a show! Shell hunting? Jackpot--whole oysters everywhere! It's like the beach said, "Here, have some treasure." Oh, and if you're a dog lover, this park is like doggy paradise. Picture your pup frolicking in the sun, while you hunt down those blackberries that grow all over the Drayton bay side of the path. If you're staying at the resort, grab one of their free bikes and cruise the spit. Summer does its thing here, making the whole place feel like the set of a feel-good beach movie, complete with breathtaking sunsets that will make your Instagram followers jealous. This place is like a vacation for your soul.

It was also cool to be able to cross the street and be right back on the beach.

There is a museum/gift shop where you can park as well as a parking area further down the road past the museum. Its a great place for a day trip for a beach day.

Trees and lakes keep the air fresh, the noise pollution down and makes you feel like you escaped the city without leaving town. Plenty of people were enjoying the 69 degree weather. Some lounging in their lawn chairs, walking the dogs on the trail or canoeing on the lake. The boardwalk is especially nice for walking, for the structural metal strips keep it bike-free and peaceful. Meanwhile, there are many scenic trails through the trees that cyclists can enjoy. We completed the one hour/2.6 mile loop trail around the lake passing gorgeous heritage homes, a wedding taking place on the festival lawn and people fishing off the docks. Next time, I'm renting a canoe or kayak from the Deer Lake Boat rentals to see the park from a different perspective. Bonus:Parking and the views are free!

On a clear sunny day, this place beats any other concert venue: it's large enough for concert goers of all types to enjoy. You could easily make your way up to get close to the stage, or you could sit down on the lawn and listen to the tunes. Since the lawn tilts at an angle, it's easy to see the stage from almost anywhere, even if you're really far back. There are also a lot of food trucks to get food or drinks from, and there's a water station where you could fill up your water bottle. The only downside of this venue is that it's not very easily accessible by transit and parking is limited on a busy concert evening.
