Coquitlam's Easy Forest Hike Gives You Two-For-One Waterfalls

Double your waterfall fun on this no-sweat hike. ⛰️
Staff Writer

It is time to stretch your legs and discover this hiking trail near Vancouver where you can get two-for-one waterfalls.

Coquitlam's Woodland Walk Trail in Pinecone Burke Provincial Park is 40 minutes away by car and will take you two cascading natural wonders.

What makes this forest path so spectacular is you get to see both Woodland and the 40-foot tall Sawblade Falls.

Within the forest glen, you'll feel like you have the park to yourself, and enjoy an up-close look at both sights.

From start to finish, it will take you roughly 3.5 hours following the looped path.

For the best steady stream of falling water, aim to go in the spring or after a downpour.

Before you depart, it is a good idea to wear waterproof boots, as the path can often have lots of muddy puddles.

Also, don't be alarmed if you hear gunfire; the sound travels from the Port Coquitlam and District Hunting and Fishing Club shoot ranging — ah, the sounds of nature.

Price: Free

Address: Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, Coquitlam, BC

Why You Need To Go: It is a fantastic area to go for a stroll with your dog and enjoy the fresh air.
