Point Roberts/Boundary Bay Regional Park C57

Touring Point Roberts in a loop (at most 25 kms including the loop around Boundary Bay Regional Park).
First, reach Point Roberts from Boundary Regional Park (see map – 3.6 km)
From the USA/Canada Border go west by reaching Roosevelt Way to follow the 49th Parallel Border. Because you cannot get on Roosevelt Way right at the border crossing, first go west on Mckenzie Way then north along Delano Way.
Features (note historical signage along the way)
* Canadian residences are right along the border on Roosevelt Way (do not cross over).
* Border Monuments along the way
* Monument Park at the west end marking the west end of the 49th Parallel Boundary.
* Head south on Marine Drive overlooking the west coast.
* At Gulf Road view Kiniki’s Reef and do check out Saltwater Café to take advantage of the best and often the only place to eat.
* Continue south to reach and tour Lighthouse Marine Park.
* Along the south route to Boundary Bay, go around the Marina to South Beach Up to Lily Point Marine Reserve where there were once major fish canaries and the fishing grounds of the Coast Salish First Nations.
* Continuing along the west sea shore there are view opportunities up to Maple Beach and back to Roosevelt Way taking you back to the border crossing.

Before doing this tour, we highly recommend that you view on YouTube the Backstory Tales, Trails and Trivia of Point Roberts by Mark Svenson, a talk from his book of the same title.
