About the Trails
Built on two main islands with a group of smaller islands, at the mouth of one of the world's great rivers, Richmond offers a unique ecological setting for enjoyment and exploration.
Rich natural, agricultural, and industrial environments have evolved here where the Fraser River meets the Pacific Ocean. Access to and around many interesting Richmond sights is provided by a series of perimeter dyke trails and interconnecting routes.

Groups including Richmond Bicycle Club, Richmond Dog Fanciers, Richmond Pony Club, and the S.P.C.A. have joined the City of Richmond to promote safety and consideration on the dyke trails.
With assistance from member of these groups, we have developed a courtesy code regarding rules and etiquette to Share the Dykes. Please refer to the Rules and Etiquette section to familiarize yourself with our courtesy code. By co-operating with each other, we can preserve the beauty and the recreational opportunities that are offered by our trails, for everyone to enjoy.
