About the Journey

Crippen Regional Park  –  The Metro Vancouver Regional Park website.

It comes off the Trans Canada Trail at Horseshoe Bay by taking a 20 minute ferry to Bowen Island.  There is no need to take a vehicle over for this loop.  The loop is 16 km   ( 2.2km less if you leave out Dorman Point).  This is quite an easy walk including restaurants and shops.  Allow up to 6 hours to do the whole trail allowing for stops.  A good meetup place is in front of the Library just beyond the Snug Cover Ferry terminal.

Main features for this walking loop:

  • Snug Cove itself with its amenities and a great waterfront
  • Bridal Falls and Fish Ladder
  • Killarney Lake circuit
  • Killarney Meadow and Fish Hatchery
  • Grafton Lake
  • Artisan Square (place to eat as well)
  • Dorman Point Lookout (Can be kept as an option of 2.2 km)
