Sumas Dyke Trails

A ride described in Let's Go Biking

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.

How we describe routes →

The Sumas Dyke Trails run flat through quiet farmland near Abbotsford, 13 km one way and 26 return on gravel dykes and a former rail corridor. This valley floor was Sumas Lake until it was drained in the 1920s, a history worth knowing as you ride, with mountain views in every direction. Surfaces run chunky in stretches.
