Addington Lookout is a viewpoint from the top of a knoll in the 200-plus hectare Minnekhada Regional Park. It's a great view from Metro Vancouver, and if you get there for sunrise you are more likely to see deer and moose.

Fern Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Fern Trail at Minnekhada Regional Park is a lovely shaded path through second-growth forest, linking the Lodge Trail to the Quarry Trail and High Knoll. It’s relatively steep in sections but well-marked, with dense ferns, mossy trunks, and a quiet, enclosed feel. It’s a fantastic connector trail, with options to access higher viewpoints or complete longer loops to explore more across the park’s eastern ridge.

Lower Marsh Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint is an excellent place for expansive, unobstructed views across the wetland. It’s an easy walk from the main parking area and a reliable spot for birdwatching, especially in spring and summer. Visitors often see herons, ducks, and other wetland birds feeding or nesting in the open marsh. There are several picnic tables and restrooms nearby, making it a great spot for a scenic lunch before or after exploring the trails in this beautiful area.
