Acknowledge the rider and horse quietly and calmly. Be aware that sudden movements, loud noises and groups of excited people can upset both horse and rider. Please ask the rider for permission before trying to touch a horse. </p><p>If you are in a group, spread yourselves along the trail, so the horse can walk by a line of individuals instead of being intimidated by a group. Horses sometimes perceive groups as threatening. </p><p>Keep dogs leashed, quiet and under control when horses approach.<br></p></div>

<div class="ExternalClass5EF6D174980E455B9CAA107D3BFE9035"><p>The Pitt River Regional Greenway is part of the Experience the Fraser's Coast to Canyon Trail and the Great Trail (formerly named the Trans Canada Trail). It connects to a larger network of trails, providing even more opportunities to expand your exploration of the region and beyond.</p><p>Additional sections of the greenway and waterfront access will be completed over the next 5 to 20 years.</p></div>

<div class="ExternalClass941EF2367CCF4860950CC0885E7912DD"><p>Pitt River Greenway is on a dyke that was originally built to protect the early agricultural lands and associated farming community of Pitt Meadows. The word "Pitt" is of Dutch origin from the term "pitt polder" meaning converted wetlands and is related to the Dutch dyke building company and Dutch farming community of this area in the mid-1900s.</p><p>The Pitt River, surrounding lands and wetlands have significant First Nation's heritage. Local Katzie people are bringing back the Wapato crops (arrow root) that were abundant throughout nearby wetlands prior to the dyking and draining of the wetlands. </p></div>

<div class="ExternalClass2FBAB32DDDC74B8D8BDC7510EE62995E"><p>Bears, cougars, and coyotes pass through this greenway from time to time. If you encounter any of these animals, stay calm, keep children and pets close to you, and back away. Never feed, disturb or approach wildlife, or leave any garbage behind.<br></p><p><strong>Bears</strong><br>For more information about bears and bear safety, see <a href="/services/regional-parks/Documents/bears-in-metro-vancouver.pdf" target="_blank">Bears in Metro Vancouver</a> or visit <a href="https://wildsafebc.com/black-bear/" target="_blank">WildSafeBC</a>.</p><p><strong>Coyotes</strong><br>For more information about coyotes and coyote safety, check out the <a href="/services/regional-parks/Documents/regional-parks-coyote-brochure.pdf" target="_blank">Help Keep Coyotes Wild and People Safe</a> brochure.<br></p></div>

<div class="ExternalClassD624BC9DDC1945B5AAED8E18C966C3C9"><div><p> Most of the path on the dyke is wheelchair accessible. The washroom at Harris Landing is wheelchair accessible. <span lang="EN-US">The trails at Harris Landing are semi-firm fine gravel trails that are at least 1.5 m wide. While the trail along the dike is wide and relatively flat, the paths leading to riverside trails have a steep slopes of 10 – 15%.</span></p></div></div>
