If you renting a canoe from them be prepared to pay cash and don’t expect to get a receipt. Debit and credit are not accepted and the closest ATM is a 20 – 30 min round trip. Then you are expected to pickup and carry your canoe from the office to launch(about 100 meters). Nobody was helping us or any other boaters. On return you need to bring the canoe back to the office and put it on the rack yourself. Best customer service ever!

Grant Narrows Regional Park was handed over from Metro Vancouver Parks to the Katzie First Nation Band. For now the name has not changed for the park. The park encompasses the shoreline of Pit Lake and the dykes to the south of the shoreline. There is also an ecological Reserve inside the boundaries of the park named«Pit Polder Ecological Reserve». There is lots of walking or biking to be done in the area and it is all flat as a pancake so it is good for all ages. Most afternoons it gets very windy though so bring a jacket, as it can get very cold. Also remember that Pit Lake is a tidal lake and as such is always changing and revealing new things to discover! This is also a great place to put in a Kayak or Canoe and take a paddle. I would recommend heading to the Widgeon Valley National Wildlife Area just across the narrows as the open water in Pit Lake can get very rough! In the future the Katzie First Nations plan on having a boat rental and concession stand at this park. There was an old group that did this but they lost the contract when the park was handed over.
