This traffic-calmed, mostly residential, street is a popular designated bike route. Note, however, that several intersections along the route have cross traffic that doesn't stop. There is a water fountain at Templeton Street.

Seymour Dam

Seymour Lake Gazebo

Highlight • Viewpoint

Head up the Seymour Valley Trailway, from Lillooet Road (from the turnaround, DO NOT go up the service road). It'll eventually connect to the Seymour Dam Falls Road/Seymour Mainline that'll lead to the dam.

The path to the gazebo isn't paved.

Seymour Demonstration Forest

Highlight • Forest

The trail that runs through the Seymour Demonstration Forest, or the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (metrovancouver.org/services/regional-parks/park/lower-seymour-conservation-reserve), is probably the most pleasant car-free paved trail in the Vancouver area. From the gazebo at the Rice Lake entrance to the gate at Seymour Dam, the path is 11 km long, with gentle rolling hills and curves. There are washrooms and a drinking fountain near the Rice Lake entrance.

It is sometimes a few degrees chillier on this trail, even on a hot summer day, due to the trees, the elevation, and the valley that can trap a pocket of cool air.

Cautions:
- The road to the park is gated, and therefore inaccessible to cars, at night.
- Throttle-actuated bikes are prohibited on the trail.
- The trail has multiple speed gates with flexible bollards.
- Since much of the trail is off-limits to cars and also out of range of cell phone service, be sure that your bike is in good working order, and that you are able to handle any likely mechanical issues.
- Bears roam the area. (nsnews.com/local-news/glad-to-be-alive-man-t-bones-bear-while-cycling-in-north-vancouver-7015380)
