Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge is a city in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is located in a very scenic area, complete with majestic mountain peaks, lakes, and rivers. It began as a community of 50 families in the mid-19th century. Today, it is a thriving city of more than 82,000 people. It is also part of the Greater Metropolitan area of Vancouver, British Columbia’s largest city, and one of the largest cities in all of Canada. Maple Ridge is proud of its history and heritage, which is largely preserved in the city’s museum. Nowadays, however, the city is probably more famous for its outdoor attractions. Thus, it is a great locale for people looking for an outdoor adventure.
