Local Running Routes

New to town, new to running, or visiting? Here are some of the best running routes in Vancouver.

• Columbia River Renaissance Trail: Runs about 5 miles along the Columbia River from downtown Vancouver (Esther Short Park area) out to Wintler Park. It’s paved, flat, and super runnable.
• Burnt Bridge Creek Trail: A shaded, mostly paved urban greenway that runs through neighborhoods and parks, ideal for steady, low-traffic training runs.
• Salmon Creek Greenway: A longer, nature-leaning paved trail with creek and forest views that works well for easy long runs or half marathon training.
• Frenchman’s Bar to Vancouver Lake Trail: A flat, open dike-style route with big water and wildlife views that feels more remote and nature-focused despite being close to the city.
• Lacamas Lake Loop: A scenic gravel and dirt trail system around lakes with light rolling terrain that offers a more varied and slightly hillier training run.
