Summary

Twenty minutes from downtown Port Moody and Maple Ridge, the Old Mill Boathouse is located in the waters at Rocky Point, and plays a vital role in reinforcing the community’s connection to the Burrard Inlet.

Popular with sailors, rowers, kayakers, and canoeists, the Boathouse also acts as a meeting house for local school groups, power squadrons, and a navy league.

The building design mimics industrial buildings of the area, built for durability and longevity, while also allowing for ample natural light, ventilation, and sheltered outdoor activity. Salvaged from the nearby Flavelle Mill, 100-year-old fir beams frame the “Great Room” used for sport gatherings and regattas.
