Middle Arm Trail / East and Central Richmond - Route 6
This 38 km route begins in Terra Nova and follows the Middle Arm Trail, extending to the North Dyke Trail along the Middle Arm of the Fraser River. The route loops back to Terra Nova via on-street cycling routes through East Richmond and the City Centre. This route is suitable for both driving and bicycling. If you are riding this scenic route, allow for 2 hours of cycling time.
This route provides interesting views of the City from three distinct environments. First, the dyke trails take you along the Fraser River and provide great views of the working waterfront, mountains, neighbouring municipalities and wildlife. The second leg of this route is rural in nature and takes you past large agricultural fields of seasonal fruits and vegetables, providing unobstructed panoramic views of the Coastal Mountains to the north of Richmond. The final section of this route takes you through urban Richmond where you will experience busy commercial areas and residential neighbourhoods.
Exercise caution once you are off the dyke trail section of this route, there are few rest areas along the on-street route and traffic volumes can be high.
