Nearby Buntzen Lake is a swimming oasis in summer and offers an abundance of hiking trails into the surrounding mountains. And right on your door step, you can immerse yourself in nature in Bert Flinn Park, a popular retreat for locals. Largely undeveloped, the park has an extensive trail system for hikers, dog walkers and mountain bikers.
BREWER'S ROW
Spending time in Port Moody is even better now that you can set out on your own mini ale trail! Brewer's Row has really put Port Moody on the map, and beer lovers will agree that Port Moody is anything but sleepy - it has become a destination!
Priced out of downtown Vancouver, millennials are building ‘hipsturbia’
This enclave of artisanal urbanity is not in Vancouver's Gastown – it's a one-hour SkyTrain ride away, in the small suburb of Port Moody, which sits on Burrard Inlet, surrounded by mountains.Port Moody used to be the place you'd pass through on your way to Buntzen Lake. But in the past couple of years, the city has transformed from strip malls to locally sourced mom and pop shops – and the hipster culture that entails.
The new SkyTrain Evergreen line, which opened in December, also opened up major possibilities. Now, Vancouverites make day trips into Port Moody for its popular Brewery Row, with craft breweries along an industrial three-block stretch.

With four main breweries located on the same row, all within walking distance of each other, Brewer's Row has become quite the tourist attraction! And if you fancy a stroll after sampling the local beers, Rocky Point Park offers shoreline trails, a pier, great scenery as well as fish and chips and ice cream! What's not to love?!
SHOPPING AND TRANSIT
Local shopping and services can be found at the foot of Heritage Mountain at Newport Village and Suter Brook Village. Both offer an array of boutique shops, trendy cafes and restaurants, as well as all of the everyday essential outlets.
