Salmon Run on North Shore

One of the best things about this spot is that there’s something to see year-round, from different fish species to the mesmerizing river itself. No matter when you ride, this detour is always worth it.

Getting to the park is an adventure all on its own. The route winds through a network of hidden neighbourhood trails—those secret little connectors you may have passed a hundred times but never actually ridden. It’s such an amazing way to rediscover this corner of the North Shore. And if you need a mid-ride morale boost, Barrio Coffee makes the perfect pit stop before you start the climb into the British Properties.

Yes, you will feel the elevation. Your legs will absolutely tell you about it. But trust me: the payoff is huge. Sweeping views of the city open up beneath you, and the descent after all that climbing? Pure, sweet, effortless joy.

I hope you have as much fun on this ride as we did—and fall in love with all those sneaky trails that make the North Shore feel like a giant treasure map.
