Remember that great scene in Remarkably Bright Creatures where Cameron finally shares his music at the local bar? That was The Wolf Bar, one of Maple Ridge’s longtime hangouts known for late-night live music, casual drinks and a welcoming neighbourhood feel. Just a few minutes away, discover the stories of the region at Maple Ridge Museum & Community Archives. Housed inside a charming heritage building, the museum highlights the area’s history through exhibits focused on early settlers, the Fraser River and the development of Maple Ridge over the years. To continue exploring the waterfront side of the city, head toward Port Haney Wharf along the Fraser River. The wharf offers beautiful river views and a peaceful place to watch boats pass by while taking in the surrounding mountain scenery. While it’s a 15 minute drive out of the city, you’d be missing out if you didn’t visit Golden Ears Provincial Park, one of British Columbia’s most stunning outdoor destinations. The park is filled with hiking trails, mountain views, lakeside beaches and forest scenery that make it perfect for its own day trip before returning to town for food and drinks.
