Alouette River
Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada
Small beach & small craft boat launch. Tidal river, but gentle currant. A popular place for local community members to launch kayaks, SUP boards & canoes. Close to parking lot with access to picnic area & dyke trails. Dyke trails parallel the river on both sides for portions of the way, popular to bike, hike & walk dogs.
Parts of this river is bordered by farm land. The river starts at Alouette Lake in Golden Ears Park.
On river (I paddle) & shores, I have seen bears, beavers, seals, heron, Canadian Geese, ducks & birds of all sorts.
