For a map click here! Deep Cove is at the far eastern end of Vancouver's north shore. From the north end of the Second Narrows bridge, follow the signs on either Mt. Seymour Parkway or Dollarton Highway to Deep Cove. Take Deep Cove Road to 'downtown' Deep Cove. Just past Cove Cycle, take your first left onto Panorama Drive. Panorama Park is below the parking lot. Look for runners!
