Kanaka Creek Regional Park serves to protect a 12-kilometer stretch of creek which runs into the Fraser River near the city of Maple Ridge. The creek is important as a venue for spawning salmon, steelhead and trout, while the well preserved riparian forest beside the creek provides a rich habitat for birds, bears and other species. Because the Fraser River is still tidal up to this point, the lower reaches of the creek also have some tidal influence.
'Kanaka' is a Hawaiian language term for native Hawaiians who served on the ships of the Hudson's Bay Company and settled in parts of British Columbia, including the Maple Ridge area, in the 19th century. The land is the traditional territory of the Katzie and Kwantlen First Nations (Coast Salish peoples) who intermarried with the Kanaka.
Although the park covers a continuous area of some 400ha, not all of it is accessible, some of the terrain being steep, marshy or trackless. In addition the whole area is prime bear habitat, so that visitors are warned to keep to the marked paths. Three main areas have well-marked trails and bridges which serve as observation platforms:
- The Riverfront Park covers the lowest stretch of the creek, with oxbows (meanders) leading to the confluence with the Fraser River. This is habitat for waterfowl including Wood Duck (resident), Green-winged Teal, Bufflehead and Western Grebe (winter visitors). At low tide some mud is exposed, and used by Killdeer and Spotted Sandpiper. Swainson's Thrush breeds and Varied Thrush winters in the surrounding forest. Over 110 species have been recorded here, including all five lowland species of woodpecker.
- The quieter Rainbow Bridge area between Tamarack Lane and 110 Avenue has extensive mixed forest supporting birds such as Red-eyed and Warbling Vireo, Western Tanager and Western Wood-Pewee.
- The Cliff Falls area has scenic waterfalls, rapids and steep ravines. This is prime habitat for the American Dipper.
In addition to these three areas with trails, the Fish Hatchery and Fish Fence (used for counting salmon and other fish) are accessible to visitors.
