Alerts and Notices
Some helpful information to help you enjoy your trip to Minnekhada! For the most up-to-date notices please visit the Metro Vancouver website, Minnekhada Regional Park page.
Due to storm damage, some sections of Quarry Trail are rough and uneven. Trail may be flooded at location shown on map, especially after heavy rainfall. Plans for repairs are underway but several permits are required before the work can proceed. Please follow posted safety signs; use extra caution; and consider other routes in poor weather conditions.
The City of Coquitlam is working on a major project that includes sewer system improvements, environmental enhancements, and transportation upgrades. Although Victoria Drive and Cedar Drive are primarily affected, visitors heading to the park should expect to encounter detours, delays, and significant increases in construction traffic on all routes to the park. Work is expected to be ongoing until 2025. Updates can be found at Cedar Creek Upgrade Project.
Visitors planning to use the Minnekhada Lodge Entrance should expect heavy construction traffic along Oliver Road. Be prepared to frequently meet large construction vehicles, such as dump trucks. Note: Oliver Road is narrow with few pullouts for passing. Please allow extra time to travel to the park, or consider using the Quarry Road Entrance.
Bears are frequently active and their movements are often dictated by food supplies — including any human food left unattended, and garbage.
To keep bears wild and people safe:
- Never feed a bear; do not leave any garbage or unattended food.
- Clean up garbage and food immediately; use the bear-proof bins provided or store in your car
- Never approach a bear
