Discover North Delta

With a rural atmosphere, big city amenities, breath-taking scenery, and world-famous bird watching, Delta’s an all-season destination where sea, freshwater, land and several million feathered friends come together in spectacular fashion.

Delta is a bird lover’s paradise with one of Canada’s top bird-watching areas in the Delta Nature Reserve.

With Delta’s low elevation, cyclists can enjoy some spectacular bike rides. For 11 kilometres of forested trails or a scenic picnic, visit Watershed Park.
