Deep Cove & Quarry Rock
Deep Cove
A quiet seaside village at the eastern end of North Vancouver, where you can kayak on Indian Arm. A short trail climbs to Quarry Rock for views over the bay, and it is a weekend favorite with locals.
Deep Cove sits at the entrance to Indian Arm. The village has just one small main street, and its Honey Doughnuts shop is famous. The Quarry Rock trail starts in town. The round trip is about 3.8 kilometers and takes about 1.5 hours. After climbing through the forest, you reach a granite platform with views over the boats in the bay and the forested mountains across the water. In summer you can rent kayaks or stand-up paddleboards at the dock and paddle into Indian Arm. On summer weekends, the trail and parking lot have crowd limits, so it is best to go on a weekday or early in the morning. From downtown, bus 211 takes about 50 minutes.
