We took a long walk to the end of False Creek and enjoyed seeing another side of Vancouver. Lots of parks and playgrounds along the way being enjoyed by families. If I were to live in Vancouver, this is where I would want to be! Also an easy bike ride if you don't want to walk.

Take one of the ferries from Granville Island to Yaletown to get a great glimpse of False Creek. Some of the locals use it for commuting and they can tell you little tidbits if you're interested. After, walk along the seawall in Yaletown.

My hotel was just a block from False Creek and the seawall, which I walked every day. There are great parks, lots of people out walking and riding bikes. The water taxis along False Creek were convenient to get to Granville Island and other destinations.

The seawall along False Creek is a great place to stroll or walk. It is far more quiet than the seawall at Stanley Park and it also offers you beautiful vistas of the city. You come across several playgrounds so it is a nice outing with the children. If you are getting too tired, you can take a ferry back!... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Georgian Court Hotel on Beattie Street and False Creek runs behind the Stadium and Casino opposite so we took a walk down to the wharf and caught the smallest, cutest ferry we had ever seen ! The captain was a young guy and charged us $11 each for a full loop ride. He... More

There lots of places to visit around False Creek & the Aquabuses can help you get to all of them. Visit Granville Island, Yaletown, Vanier Park. The most fabulous boats to look at as well.

we wound up here partially by mistake, but glad we did. The outside flowers and grounds were beautiful. The library was just across the street from out hotel and was very quiet and plentiful for the books.
