Seasonal trail: April to October.

During winter months, the water crossing at Crystal Falls can be impassable. The only exit will be to push back up the trail so choose carefully.

This trail traverses down from Woodland Walk to Coquitlam River Trail (CRT) upstream from Crystal falls. In the wet, the bottom section is clay and has low traction. In the summer and late spring, the lower section can get overgrown.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Disclaimer

River crossing at Crystal Falls can be impassable in the late fall and winter months.

      Crystal falls is really coming down right now and the water level is very high. Crossing it is not recommended.

      Road it today for the first time. Fast in some parts! A couple of unexpected drops kept us on our toes! Carried out bikes across the river at the falls- wish the water was a little deeper for a dip.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
