ACCESS TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF PINECONE BURKE PROVINCIAL PARK IS SCUPPERED BY DISPUTE BETWEEN KATZIE AND THE PROVINCE
Access to Grant Narrows and the boat launch is gated according to Maple Ridge News. The next closest public boat launch appears to be in Pitt Meadows, 14 km away. The Widgeon Marsh gateway to Pinecone Burke provincial park is now a 14 km paddle instead of 500 meters. Debeck Creek would be a 70 km round trip instead of 40 km.
***Update July 2020*** - The boat launch reopened. An agreement was reached. The gate is open 6 AM to 10 PM.
