Maple Ridge Vacation Rentals

Maple Ridge, on the north shore of the Fraser River, is nestled between mountains, lakes and rivers. They call Maple Ridge the "Horse Capital of BC". You can explore the lovely countryside on miles of trails or along the dikes. Stop at clear, fresh watering holes in the Alouette River, try your skills at dressage or jumping, or learn the basics at many of our Riding rings. Horse boarding is also available at several farms. Maybe you have come to play golf. You can play nearly all year round on one of our 7 courses: simple beginners par 9 or world-class courses like Swan-e-set offer fun and challenge to everybody. Hike and play in the Golden Ears Park and climb the Golden Ears Mountains. An extensive dike system in the Pitt Polder offers opportunities for long walks, bike rides and bird watching. The Polder is part of the pacific resting and nesting ground for birds on the northern flyway. Canoeing on more than 5 lakes and miles of sloughs are another nature adventure. Maple Ridge has many family amenities like a large leisure centre with 3 pools and a gym, a theatre, lots of shopping and several parks and playgrounds. We celebrate many festivals like the Carribean Festival, River's Day, Earth Day Festival and many others. Maple Ridge combines the best of outdoors recreation and nature with the close proximity of the world-class city of Vancouver. We are only 50 minutes away from the most superb restaurants, entertainment and culture of this pacific gateway. In February of 2010 the 2010 winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver. Come and visit: you will not want to leave!
