Parks and Trails

The Corridor trail is a paved commuter trail that, when complete, will stretch from the Stawamus Chief Apron to Depot Road in Brackendale. It serves both as an environmentally-friendly commuter option to get safely from one end of town to the other, and also connects neighbourhoods and important recreation sites such as Brennan Park Recreation Centre, Smoke Bluffs Park, the Stawamus Chief Provincial Park, and an extensive network of additional trails.

The Squamish Estuary at the tip of Howe Sound provides valuable habitat to more than 200 species of wintering and migrating birds as well as other species.

The trails through the estuary provide fantastic bird watching opportunities and some of the best views of the Stawamus Chief and Shannon Falls.

Estuary trails can be accessed from the corner of Vancouver Street and Second Avenue.

The Sea to Sky trail is a multi-use trail that connects communities from Squamish to D’Arcy. The Corridor Trail in Squamish forms part of the Sea to Sky trail as it winds its way from the Squamish waterfront to Whistler.  Parts of this trail are still under construction,

The District of Squamish, Resort Municipality of Whistler, and the Village of Pemberton all proudly support this project.

This trail is part of the Trans Canada Trail. Explore the webmap.

The Turtle Trail was inspired by the “Bright New Day” workshop held at Totem Hall in February 2012. The 80-person, two-day gathering recommended Squamish develop a Truth and Reconciliation Trail.

The circular Turtle Trail is modelled on the indigenous sharing/healing circle. Its intention is to build enduring community relationships through sharing stories/experiences/truths. Planned interpretive kiosks will touch on the diversity of Squamish: multiple histories, cultures, governance, environment, and social networks. The Turtle Trail is an invitation to explore Squamish’s past, present, and future.

The Turtle Trail connects five major Squamish landmarks and identifies access points to additional trail networks. From an eagle’s view, the trail resembles a turtle.

Squamish is home to a vast trail network that features dozens and dozens and dozens of trails catering to all ability levels. Local community organizations spend countless hours maintaining the trails, and work with various levels of government to construct new ones. A passionate group of community volunteers helps support these efforts throughout the year.

Get outside and explore them on foot or by bike! Visit the Squamish Adventure Centre to pick up a copy of the Squamish Mountain Bike Trail Map by SORCA.

When heading out to use the trails, please note that many trails are designated for specific uses, such as hiking only, mountain biking or motorized use, and many others are multi-use trails. Please be aware, and check out the sidebar links for more information about this incredible trail network.
