Vancouver City Links

Travel Guide info on Vancouver.

Vancouver City Map This one is in PDF format. I think it would look better printed on very large paper.

Vancouver Maps. I've printed out most of these. They are pretty good. The "VanMap" is worth looking at. It is a very complete package

False Creek Harbor Authority. They have a public dock in the false creek area. Possible first night moorage. (I am thinking about anchoring but we will see!)

Fees and Charges: Rates for public marina transient moorage, and the parking fee ($8/day Canadian)

Ganville Island Picture Site

Great Granville Site: Note, print the PDF map.

Awesome False Creek walking trail map. I'm thinking this will be available somewhere in the area, and I don't want to print a 23 page color document! Good reading tho'

False Creek seawall pictures. Lots of the seawall, much more than just False Creek.

Vanier Park: Launch Ramp Info

Picture Site

Yahoo Site. Check the driving directions and map for sure
