Salmon Creek Hike

Overview

The Salmon Creek Trail, right off of I-5 in north Vancouver, was opened to the public in 1996. Before that, beginning in the 1920s, the Salmon Creek bottomland was mined for gravel by local businessman Harry Klineline and others. The extensive wetlands are in the middle of a long restoration process. A variety of amenities, including restrooms, picnic areas, a swimming pond, and sports fields, are available close to the parking areas. The trail, however, extends both west and east from there. Hiking west, you'll walk three miles along the edge of lengthy expanse of wetland that sustains beaver and numerous waterfowl. The short extension east takes you to another pond and the shore of Salmon Creek.
