Real temperate rainforest in the middle of Coquitlam, where the conifers are massive, the rain barely gets through and Lost Lake earns its name.
Mundy Park, Hillcrest Street / Mariner Way, Coquitlam
More infoMundy Park has no business being this good: a legitimate block of temperate rainforest tucked into Coquitlam's suburbs. The roughly 4 km perimeter loop is so flat and groomed you will never once discuss footwear. Towering conifers keep it cool, dim and conspiratorially quiet, and Lost Lake sits hidden away in a manner that fully earns the name. Bring water. There is no coffee cart between the trees.
Proof you don't have to leave the suburbs to feel in the woods: a flat, well-groomed roughly 4 km perimeter loop through Coquitlam rainforest, or duck onto interior paths to circle Mundy Lake and the benches at hidden Lost Lake. Towering conifers keep it cool and shrug off light drizzle, making it a sneaky-good iffy-forecast pick; budget about 75 minutes. It's free, dog-friendly and easy to talk the whole way, so take the long way and let the big trees set the mood.
