Walk in Richmond - Steveston - Railway Greenway & Dykes

Walk 10 km or 5 km.

Our walks are restricted to club members who have paid $15 for an annual membership. If you have not yet done so, and you would like to join us on our walks, please follow these instructions:
SEND AN EMAIL to vancouverventurers@gmail.com stating that you'd like to fill out a membership form. In the subject line of your email, write MEETUP.

Meet in PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET FROM Steveston Community Centre, 4111 Moncton Street. NOTE: Due to construction of the new rec centre, if the parking lot is full turn East off No. 1 Road onto Chatham (which is like a laneway and leads directly to the tennis courts) where there is more parking. Walkers will register (sign in) at the start point between 9:30 am and 9:55 am. The walk will start at 10:00 am sharp. Please be on time; we do not wait for latecomers.

Please note: Although the number of attendees indicated on this page may appear low, be assured that you will be walking with many club members who have not RSVP’d. We rarely have fewer than 15 participants at any of our walks.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION:
Come Walk With Us on part of the old railway route now converted to walking paths as we walk to the Middle Arm Dyke pathway. While walking on this dyke trail beside the Middle Arm of the Fraser River we get to watch many planes taking off and landing at the Vancouver Airport. As we continue, this Middle Arm Dyke path changes to the West Dyke path and if it is the right time of the year, you will see many herons, eagles and thousands of Snow Geese. Don’t miss this walk. This is one of 11 walks in our “Explore Richmond” series.

Immediately following the walk, you may wish to join some of your fellow club members for lunch at the designated eatery nearby.

NOTE: Once you have RSVP’d, our Meetup site will always show your status as “Unpaid”. This is not a cause for concern. The $1.00 participation fee for the walk is paid at the start point and to save us some work, we will not be recording on Meetup that you have paid it.

If you have any questions, please post them here on Meetup or send an email to vancouverventurers@gmail.com.
