Amenities: Outhouse, scenic viewpoints with benches
The trail follows a mostly wood chip surface route through a thinly spaced forest. The forested trail follows
the same route early surveyors traveled by when planning the railway line. The trail meanders through
the trees leading to various viewpoints looking out over the city and out over the Fraser River. The trail is
relatively fl at from the parking lot to the fi rst scenic viewpoint. From this point on there is a steep hill with
an elevation gain of 60 metres. The route is shared by dog walkers, joggers and mountain bikers.
For a longer walk, you can complete a loop by accessing the north end of the LC Gunn Trail from the
Yellowhead Bridge via the Heritage River Trails, and then crossing the Simon Fraser Bridge at the south end
of the trail and following Queensway Drive to the Heritage River Trails junction at Queensway Drive and
Regents Crescents. (See Hudson Bay Slough Trail and Heritage River Trail)

Forests for the World includes over 15 km of trails that will take you through a variety of forest habitats.
The main trail leading from the parking lot to Shane Lake is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. The lake
is home to beavers — you will see plenty of evidence of nature’s logger. Moose are often seen feeding on
aquatic plants at the south end of the lake. During spring and fall, several species of ducks and geese stop
over on the semi-annual migrations.
The Lookout Loop Trail takes you to the Upper Lookout with panoramic views from the top of Cranbrook Hill
including the mountains to the east, the surrounding forests and farmland, and the city below.
