We've been working with a design company on the development of a new Trail Guide for the Burns Lake Mountain Biking Trails.
They are looking spectacular, and are in print right now so we will have them before beginning of riding season.
Lots of great detail in the maps, directional indicators, on google earth style satellite imagery so its really easy to identify where you are on the map.
Other brochure style info throughout the double sided fold out map that gives tourists and locals a clear format to locate any and all services in town and places to go on the trails.
Full color glossy print with some amazing photos of the great riding in Burns Lake are all there, you're going to love it!
We'll be putting copies of them at the Tourism Info Center and other key locations. |

Stearns Creek Phase 2 & 3 |
|
Did someone say EPIC TRAIL?!
Funding has been confirmed for phase 2 and 3 of the Stearns Creek Canyon Trail. Building will commence as soon as weather allows for in spring 2012, and phase 2 is expected to be complete by end of fall 2012.
Phase 3 will be built in the 2013 build season and expected to complete the connection to the top of Boer Mountain by fall 2013.
We're really excited to see this trail to completion, it is the longest cross country trail on the trail network, and will be a spectacular addition to an already world-class trail system.
The new trail maps are including the Stearns Creek route, with indicators of which season specific sections of trail will be built. But we're glad the funding was confirmed before the maps went to print.
We have a number of funding sources to thank, the largest being the Community Recreation Grant from the Province of BC, the Nechako-Kitimaat Development Fund Society, the Burns Lake Community Forest, and the Dick Nourse Fund Society. Without their generous support Stearns Creek Canyon Trail would still be but a dream in the minds of some dedicated mountain bike enthusiasts.

Stearns Creek Canyon Trail - Phase 1 Complete |
|
Thanks to funding from Recreation Sites And Trails BC and the Nechako Kitimaat Development Fund Society, phase 1 of the Stearns Creek Canyon Trail is now complete.
Official Grand Opening of the trail will take place Saturday Oct 15th at 1:00pm.
Guided rides and hiking on the trail will follow a short presentation.
Phase 1 of the trail takes riders from the Burns Lake Bike Park parking area to a connection on the far end of Kager Lake, and continues on to the end of Long Lake. 4.2km of seemingly endless twists and turns undulate through a mixed bag of Poplar stands and evergreens, over creeks, rocky hill tops and several bridge crossings over creeks. The goal to the project, to build world class riding for cross country enthusiasts, a riding experience that truly fits a description of EPIC. Mission accomplished!
