Salmon Arm

Ambitious A real undertaking. Demanding on a couple of fronts, like rough surfaces plus steady climbing, or a long stretch on busier roads.

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 →

This Salmon Arm loop runs 3.5 to 20 km, starting along the Shuswap waterfront, where the foreshore is one of BC's best birding spots, then climbing through farmland and vineyards above the lake. The full loop has real hills; the waterfront section suits everyone.
