This recreation Area is made up of 26 kilometres of signed trails ranging in difficulty from easy, technical single-track to double-track mountain trails. There is lots of parking, washroom and a bonus dog park for your furry friends. Closer to Duncan, Maple Mountain and Tzouhalem Mountain are amazing with numerous trails, again from easy to difficult and often with stunning views.
