BC Marine Trails

Working to secure long-term public access to the British Columbia coast, BC Marine Trails in a non-profit and charitable organization. It works in combination with First Nations and stakeholders to build, protect and promote a public network of marine trails allowing recreational navigation of the BC coastline with minimal impact on the environment.

Kayakers can enjoy the spectacular ocean scenery and temperate rainforests as they travel the shorelines, pushing through the fog and soaking up the sunshine with the opportunities to spot wolves, whales and even Spirit bears. BC Marine Trails maintain a large network of wilderness campsites, day-use areas, access points and boat launches that are spread up and down the coast.

Our BRMB Maps and digital maps go one step further; the BC Marine Trails layer provides detailed information on hundreds of sites including the number of campsites at a particular location, the best spots to pitch your tent, landing conditions, indicating sandy beaches, gravel bars and rocky shorelines, and what to expect at launch sites and day-use areas. Everything that is required to plan an afternoon paddle or a multi-day trip.
BC Marine Trails Code of Conduct
BC Marine Trails (BCMT) wants to make sure that people using marine trail sites minimize their impact on the environment.
Since these sites are spread out and can't be supervised directly, it's up to users to be mindful of their impact. By following the Code of Conduct, users can ensure that their use of marine trail sites doesn't harm the environment. BCMT aims to get people to adopt practices that support the environment when using the British Columbia coast for recreation. This means changing some of our usual behaviors and habits. By thinking about the impact of what we do and understanding the need for change, users who follow the Code are accepting their role and responsibility as marine stewards.
