How to get to the start

  • Golden Ears Provincial Park lies in the Coast Mountains 11 km north of Maple Ridge on the north side of the Fraser River.
  • Access to the park is by vehicle via Highway 7 or Dewdney Trunk Road through the Municipality of Maple Ridge.
  • If heading west, turn right onto 232nd and if heading east, turn left onto 232nd; then turn right onto Fern Crescent and follow road into park.
  • Drive a long way into the park, do not turn to park headquarters on the left (first turn off), do not stop at the first pull out on right with the parking machine (you can pay at the beach) and drive til you see the sign pointing to “beach parking” on the right. Turn and go to beach parking
