HIDE TRAIL MAP

Located on the west side of the city of Vancouver, the

Pacific Spirit Regional Park o!ers a network of trails
contained in more than 750 hectares of forest. The
trails in the park are popular with local residents and
accessible year-round.

The best way to see the park is to view the park map
and determine your own route. However, we will follow
a common route that will take you on a 3-hour trip
through much of the forest.

Start the trail at a gate from 16th Avenue next to

Camosun Park and walk into the forest. A short
distance at the first intersection, turn left and continue
along the trail until you come to Imperial Road. Turn
right and walk a short distance along the road until you
reach a big sign with a map of the park area. Walk past
the sign and follow Imperial Trail for five minutes
before turning left onto Hemlock Trail. Follow this trail
as it passes the Sasamat Trail and eventually reaches a
junction with the Clinton Trail. Turn right and follow the
Clinton Trail, be careful of mountain bikers and
horseback riders who also share the multi-use trails in
this section of the park.

Once at a clearing, where you can hear the tra"c along

SW Marine Drive, take the Salish

minutes or so of walking, you reach an intersection
with the Sword Fern Trail. Head right and take this trail.
In the winter months, this trail can have large sections
that are covered in mud.

At the junction, continue straight along the Sword Fern

Trail (also called the Iva Mann Trail) and go left on the
Salish Trail towards 16th Avenue. At this point, you can
end your hike by heading to your right back along 16th
Avenue to where you started. To continue hiking, cross
16th Avenue, being careful of oncoming tra"c, and
enter the forest on the other side.
