Rose Park -
A small park in the Squamish
Village region that is perched on the edge of the Mamquam River
Channel and Tidal Slough. From the park a trail follows the river
leading all explorers past an open grassy field, a wooden viewing
platform and some picnic tables and stone benches.
The gravel pathway in the park is level and is an
easy grade trek with many opportunities to view the river and the
birds that visit the river. The best area in Rose Park to view the
local bird life is from the large wooden viewing platform peering
over the river's edge found along the trail. The trail eventually
connects to the flower gardens in Lilly's
Garden.
Many visit the park to relax and enjoy a picnic,
read a book, take in some birdwatching, throw a frisbee or view
the flower gardens. The park trail sometimes acts as a connector
trail for people traveling north to south in the Squamish area leading
to Loggers Lane Rd. Continue down the road and soon the entrances
to Logger's Creek Trail and Smoke Bluffs will appear.
Park Access - Traveling north on
Hwy 99 (Sea to Sky Highway) towards the Squamish Village take a
right at the main intersection of Cleveland Road and Logger's Lane
on the highway. Continue to the parking lot next to the Inn on the
Water and a trailhead sign marks the trail.
