Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Terrain is a little tough cause you do have to cross a creek. Width of the creek can vary with the time of year, so be careful with your approach. Cache is a regular size container starting out with lots of great loot.
Please make note of the time the park gate will close. There's a sign at the entrance when you drive in. You do not want to get your car locked in the park.
Located on the spectacular Burrard Inlet, Barnet Marine Park is a favourite of water-lovers. You can swim in the ocean, explore the shoreline or just bask in the sun. Picnic tables and barbeques are scattered under shady trees and a concession stand, change rooms and outdoor showers are available in summer. If you like to be on the water, launch your canoe, kayak or sailing dinghy. You can even try your luck at crabbing!
Just across the water, large freighters are at work and pleasure craft navigate the choppy waters. At high tide, the water can rise 14 feet, making the marine traffic appear closer than it really is.
A mill town at the turn of the century, this park still has remnants of its early days. The remains of the mill's scrap burner juts out into the water, resembling a small castle. In mid-December merry makers gather at Barnet Marine Park to watch the flotilla of Christmas Carol Ships sail by. A huge, cheery bonfire makes this a popular vantage point for this Lower Mainland custom.
