Burnaby Lake Regional Park

Day Ride Trail
Experience Horses in the City, at Burnaby Lake Regional Park with a selection of walking, hiking, cycling and equestrian trails. The EQ trails are located in the southeast corner by the Burnaby Equestrian Centre run by the Burnaby Horsemen's Association. Horse access is from the Avalon Avenue entrance by the Burnaby Horsemen's Association (BHA) facility. There are some equestrian trail loops through the wooded area at the SE end of the lake. These are bike free. The Avalon Connector and the power line trails to the Glencairn Trailhead are shared with bikes. Horses are not permitted on the trails around the lake. This is a very scenic lake area for bird photographers, you may also encounter black bears, coyotes, beavers, rabbits, bobcats, and sometimes ducks and herons taking off from the ponds. There is access to the outdoor riding arena and turnout areas across from the main parking lot, open year round. Contact the Burnaby Horsemen's Association website at: https://www.burnabyhorsemensassociation.com/ for more information about their facility and the trails.

Enter down Avalon Avenue off Cariboo Road. The main park parking lot is posted as horse trailer parking and it’s just past the side driveway to the barns. People hauling in horses generally come into the BHA parking lots which are a tight squeeze, but anyone visiting or some big haulers use the park parking lot. Give BHA a shout if you're planning a visit ahead of time.
No
The trails are well-maintained built-up sand and crusher through a wetland. You do need to be careful not to go off the trail. Parts of the area are dangerous bogs year round, others are seasonally muddy. Burnaby Horsemen's Association maintains an outdoor all-weather arena and a turnout arena that are open to the public. It is a standard sized hogfuel arena with lights, and jump standards for use. It’s maintained, and the footing is generally OK year round. Being in a bog, check out the footing before galloping around in winter. The indoor arena is members only. You may encounter BHA horses, bikes and hikers/joggers and dog walkers on the Avalon/ powerline trail. There are occasional mini marathons and fundraising walks through the park. No cyclists on the inner loops.

I grew up riding those trails at the end of Burnaby Lake. The noise from the highway isn't that bad, the horses get used to it. The main concern is, some of the trails are built on marsh and under no circumstances should you ride your horse off the trail. Other than that, the trails are gorgeous!!!! loved them, miss them.

You don't have to ride down the Highway section of the trail. The loops near the Burnaby Equestrian Centre are in a wooded area away from the highway.
