Mud Bay is a shallow, intertidal saltwater bay forming part of the Fraser River Delta estuary in the Metro Vancouver region. It is a significant coastal wetland area characterized by extensive mudflats, foreshore habitats, and salt marsh environments, bordered by the municipalities of Surrey and Delta. The bay is part of the larger Boundary Bay system and is managed within Fisheries and Oceans Canada's tidal area 29. It is a popular destination for birdwatching, kayaking, and shoreline recreation, with its ecological value enhanced by recent foreshore restoration and "living dike" initiatives. The surrounding area features regional greenways and parks, such as Mud Bay Park, which offer scenic trails along dykes with views of agricultural fields, wetlands, and the Coast Mountain Range.
