Description
Forest trails in Stanley park offer more than 27 km of quiet refuge, far from the maddening crowd, on the park's more developed periphery.
These wide, bark-mulched interior paths give a taste of what this peninsula must have been like centuries ago when, before logging, its towering cedar, fir and hemlock forest reined supreme. In fact, many pathways were previously used as 'skid rows' where lumberjacks pulled felled trees to the water's edge for 'log booming' to the nearest sawmill.
These oldest trees are known as 'monument trees' and can be discovered by park trail blazers in three distinct areas: off Siwash Rock Trail, Third Beach Trail and north of Beaver Lake on Lake Trail.
