More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start at the edge of the Salish Sea with salt in the air and the dyke under your wheels — a low, straight line of gravel that threads 20 km along Boundary Bay. The ride pushes you past expansive mudflats that alternate between glassy water and exposed tidal sand, and flocks of shorebirds that wheel and settle as if the tide were conducting the show.
Difficulty

Duration
2–7 hours
Fitness Level
Moderate: should be comfortable pedaling for a few hours with short stops; the e-assist reduces sustained climbing but expect wind resistance.
Wildlife
History
The dyke system was expanded in the 19th–20th centuries to protect farmland and settlements; the bay remains critical habitat in the Pacific migratory flyway.
Conservation
Boundary Bay’s mudflats are protected for shorebirds and are sensitive to disturbance; follow posted signage, stay on trails, and avoid peak nesting areas.

Mind the Tides
Low tide exposes mudflats and draws shorebirds — plan morning or evening rides for the best wildlife viewing and photos.
