Cumberland

 Cumberland was a great place to visit. There are many old buildings with interesting stores and a vibrant outdoor enthusiast vibe. 

The Cumberland Village Bakery was our first stop and I ate my donut and pasties so fast I forgot to take a picture. It was that good.

There are many parks, trails and playgrounds in the area. The Cumberland Community Forest trail system to the South West was started by locals and enthusiasts and has extensively grown to the monstrously robust trail system it is today going through 335 hectares! Map is here.

This was one of the trails we went on, the Space Nugget.

Here is one of the posted maps. Very extensive!

On the Mama Bear trail, old boards to allow easier walking have been grown over to cool effect.

There is also a park dedicated to the Chinatown that was here during the heyday of the mine owned by the Dunsmuir family.

Not only people from China came here to earn a living but Japanese, European, First Nations, and African persons lived here outside of the white town.

I thought this was a nice sign above a swing.

Myself and my wife would come to Cumberland again.
