The Malcolm Knapp Research Forest located in Maple Ridge BC is a plot of land owned by UBC to train their students in their forestry programs.
This Research forest is also open to the public all year long for walking only (no bikes or dogs aloud!). There are 4 loop trails located in the forest as well as many many km or logging roads to explore. If you go far enough on some of the logging roads you can gain a view of Pit Lake far below. There are also options of following logging roads into Golden Ears Provincial Park near Mike Lake.
While hiking here you may hear very large trees being cut down and it may be a little unnerving (It made me jump a little bit) but this is just the forestry students learning. If it is unsafe to be on a road or trail due to this activity they will close It! For that reason do not go past trail closed signs if you see them!
If you visit the forest during the week you may be able to pick up a copy of the trail map from the front office as they are usually open.
