Waterfront Trail
- There are two trailheads exploring
the Squamish coastline located near the corner of Vancouver St and
Cleveland Ave on the south end of the village. They are identified
by the trail marker with a white directional sign pointing the way
to Nexen Beach and to the Squamish Estuary.
The trail pointing in the direction of the estuary
is the beginning of the Waterfront Trail. The easy grade 1 Km walking
path travels along a raised dyke following the shores of the Cattermole
Slough. The comfortable stroll takes all explorers past a small
assortment of beautiful sailboats and weather-weary fishing boats
tied up to docks.
Hikers, bikers and dog walkers are regular visitors
to the trail. Many explorers decide to hike further once completing
the Waterfront Trail by continuing on to the Squamish Estuary Trail
system. An ideal trail network with sitting benches and towers set
up for viewing marshlands, wetlands and the many birds that visit
the region.
Further exploring leads to views of kitesurfers and
windsurfers catching some air out at The Spit.
And in the distance the Stawamus Chief
and Shannon Falls dominate the horizon.
Trail Access - Approaching the Squamish
Village traveling north from Vancouver following Highway 99 (Sea
to Sky Highway) be prepared to take a right turn into the Squamish
Village via Cleveland Ave. Continue down the street until the very
end when you bump into Vancouver St. Park your vehicle and the trailhead
signs should be in view.
