Minnekhada Regional Park, Nature reserve in Coquitlam, Canada.
Description
Minnekhada Regional Park is a 200-hectare nature reserve in Coquitlam featuring two marsh sections divided by a dike and multiple hiking trails. Rock formations rise throughout the landscape and overlook the Pitt River below.
History
The land was purchased in 1912 by Harry Leroy Jenkins, who named the place. In 1934, Lieutenant Governor Eric Hamber built a lodge there as a retreat for hunting and entertaining notable guests.
Culture
The Kwikwetlem and Katzie First Nations lived on these lands for generations, depending on natural resources for their way of life.
Practical
The park has two entrance points with parking and restroom facilities, with marked trails totaling about 5 kilometers. Wear sturdy footwear as paths can be slippery, especially in damp areas near the marshes.
Did you know?
The name Minnekhada comes from the Sioux language and means 'rattling water', reflecting the flowing waters visible throughout the site. Jenkins chose this name when he registered the land.
