This park is a real gem, from the parking lot, there are a variety of trails through a gorgeous old-growth forest.

You can take the Juniper Trail to a great lookout over the water at The Juniper Point and then go along the Barred Owl Trail back to the parking lot. That is mostly easy and only a few having a short hill.

Also, you can start with an easy trail, the Juniper loop trail, then go through the Shore Pine trail to reach Shore pine Point. Then continues this trail to the Lighthouse viewpoint.

According to the park brochure, the first lighthouse was built in 1874.
And during World War II used for surveillance on the alert of an enemy submarine that may slip into Burrard Inlet.
