Nature Trails Brochure
Mud Bay Park See a spectacular view of Boundary Bay and look for shorebirds and waterfowl here. Shoreline trails lead past a variety of habitats supporting hundreds of different types of birds, mammals and marine creatures. The combination of mud flats, eelgrass beds, salt marshes, meadow and ocean create an ideal mix of wildlife habitat. Located along the Pacific Flyway, an aerial “highway” for migratory birds flying between Alaska and the Canadian Arctic to Central and South America, this park is an important stop for birds to rest and feed. The eelgrass beds and mudflats provide them a buffet of whelks, worms, clams and mussels. During your visit, take a break on one of the many benches and try to spot some of the reclusive shorebirds. Enjoy ocean views while walking the park's trails. A 2.5-km loop takes you along the shore on a flat, wide, gravel trail. For a longer walk or bike ride, follow the main east-west trail (open year-round) into Delta and to Boundary Bay Regional Park. Mud Bay Park is designated as an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA). We are working on coastal flood adaptation projects in the park that may impact public access and trail routes. Check surrey.ca/newparks before visiting the park.
