Kimberley Lions Way Northstar Loop

A ride described at Trails BC

How we describe routes →

Moderate One step up. Some real climbing, or a rougher surface.

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 →

A 12 km loop in Kimberley combining the shaded, creekside Lions Way trail along Mark Creek with the flat, easy Northstar Rail Trail back into town. One of the few loops that runs entirely on the Trans Canada Trail. Dog-friendly, about 45 minutes by bike, and a lovely way to see the town's green edges.
