Popular North Vancouver trail will likely remain closed this summer

"For safety's sake, the Quarry Rock section of the Baden Powell Trail will remain closed until repairs are complete."

A popular Deep Cove trail that was closed due to COVID-19 will likely remain closed this summer as well.

The Baden Powell Trail between Deep Cove and Quarry Rock will remain closed for the time being, said Courtenay Rannard, media relations for the District of North Vancouver.

Bridge and stair structures along the trail were significantly damaged during extreme winter storms in November of 2021, and some of these structures are on Provincial land and under Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, Rannard said.

“We are working closely with the Province to coordinate repairs. For safety’s sake, the Quarry Rock section of the Baden Powell Trail will remain closed until repairs are complete – likely through the summer season.”

Park Rangers are on-site reminding people about the trail closure, and signs and fencing are also in place at the trailhead, she added.

It was initially closed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to comply with the Provincial Health Officer’s orders, as overcrowding on the trail and the outlook was a common occurrence.

    A pathetic example of a nanny state. Best to pave it over and put guard rails ALL IN THE NAME OF SAFETY. Is this how this country was built? By people who are afraid to walk through the woods because its unsafe? They might get their feet wet! Perish the thought!

      Enjoy your rant? It’s a heavily used trail very near a growing population of all ages and needs to be maintained. Like the roads you drive on.

    I’ve lived in Deep Cove most of my life and the amount of hiker traffic on that trail has seen exponential growth in the past decade. Many of the stairs and bridges and the trail itself were in bad need of maintenance and the storm really did a further number on them all. Glad to see the trail is getting the attention it needs and look forward to hiking on it in the future.

    I understand all our trails are in need of repair.
    In my view the mountain bike community which appears to occupy major portions of
    the trail network be responsible financially for repairs. As a tax payer in the dnv
    for decades I do not feel the DNV should be allocating funds in recession times
    to repairs of trails. Past generations managed to hike in increased dense forests.

    It was open last weekend and I enjoyed it but hugely busy and for sure there needs to be investment to keep it in good and safe shape.
