Delta CYCLING TRAIL LOOP c33(a&b)

Delta CYCLING TRAIL LOOP c33(a&b)

This loop is a great day ride, accessible from multiple staging areas experiencing Regional and District Parks, dikes, and other land features connected by regional greenways. Visit bird sanctuaries, marshlands and tidal flats, with a number of key historical features along the way. The village of Ladner makes a great rest stop, especially on Market Days.  Completing the loop of 68 km counts for two sub-loops, 33a and 33b.    This cut-off is the division between c33a to the west and c33b to the east.  All these loops are best done counterclockwise, especially the c33b loop that takes in River Road and puts the cyclists nearer to the river bank.

Alert regarding getting over the tracks at Delta Port

Recently, BC Rail is becoming more vigilant at enforcing the signage indicating ‘end of trail’ and to not to enter this area to get across the railroad tracks.  The detour requires going down and up two very steep embankments over water in a ditch to get to a road on the other side.. The 4.5 km detour adds roughly 3.3 kms to the whole route.  We are working to overcome this obstacle with the Port authorities.  In the meantime, we are hopeful that bridging will be allowed over the ditch for the detour by the Spring of 2019.  Please remember that all Trails BC routing is suggested only as routes that we have successfully used in the past but we take no responsibility for the choices you make.  Do let us know about any changes and difficulties you encounter while using our suggested routings.
