Mount Seymour Provincial Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Seymour Provincial Park is a 35 km² park maintained by the government of British Columbia. Located approximately 15 km from downtown Vancouver, the park contains several mountains including Mount Bishop, Mount Elsay, Runner Peak, and Mount Seymour. The highest elevation in the park is the summit of Mount Bishop at 1509 metres followed by Mount Seymour, for which the park is named, at 1449 metres.
The park contains several lakes, including Elsay Lake (the largest), De Pencier Lake, Gopher Lake, and Goldie Lake. These lakes drain eastward into Indian Arm. Other smaller lakes and ponds drain westward into the Seymour River.
There is an extensive network of mountain biking and hiking trails on the lower mountain, while the upper mountain also serves hiking, picknicking, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowtubing, tobogganing, and camping.
