In the far north-east corner of Metro Vancouver is Maple Ridge. Haney, one of several historic communities within the municipality’s boundaries, is the center of activity for the district. Its downtown shopping precinct is pedestrian-friendly and land marked on Dewdney Trunk Road by the "Beast," a distinctive, two-story clock sculpture of a rearing horse. A cluster of restaurants and stores on the highway and along Dewdney Trunk Road service the surrounding community. That's not all! Check out, Golden Ears Provincial Park offers some of the region's best hiking, boating and camping. You'll find well-maintained camping sites close to Alouette Lake and Gold Creek, both of which are wonderfully refreshing during long, hot summer days. A little known recreational treasure is the University of British Columbia's Malcolm Knapp Research Forest. Dozens of walking paths weave through the forest, while interpretive signs provide insights into natural plant and animal life as well as forestry practices. Alternatively, try Maple Ridge's extensive network of dykes, which are connected to those in neighboring Pitt Meadows. 1 Percent Realty Maple Ridge, prides itself on providing professional real estate service for one low fee!
