One Spot Trail

Easy Smooth surfaces and gentle climbing.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

How we describe routes →

The One Spot Trail follows the grade of a one-locomotive logging railway through Courtenay-area forest, with loops of 5 to 25 km and a riverside run out to Nymph Falls, where the Puntledge River pours over wide rock shelves. Family-friendly, quiet, and threaded with optional singletrack.
