Terrace Mountain Bike Trails (Terrace)

Site Description: The Terrace Mountain Bike Trail system includes the Flathead, the Back Eddy and T2 Trails which are all single track. The Flathead (6.6 km) is a physically challenging climb (even for the fit) and a technically challenging descent that loops around the mountain. The trail begins with a moderate climb at the Johnstone Street trailhead and traverses the west face of the mountain. It then joins the hiking trail for a short section and begins to climb more steeply with a series of switchbacks. Riders who prefer to avoid the more technical sections can turn around at the top and ride back to the start via the up-track. The route has interesting and varied terrain with beautiful vistas along the way, and includes many bridges, boardwalks and berms. The T2 trail is a short 700 m. downhill trail that leaves the Flathead after the junction with the hiking trail that leads to the Kitsleas Road and joins up with the Steinhoe Ridge Trail. The Back Eddy Trail intersects the Flathead on the South east side of Terrace Mtn and drops down to Lakeslse Avenue by the old bridge.

Driving Directions: The Terrace Mountain trails are located approx. 3.5 km from the Visitor Information Centre on Highway 16. The main trailhead is located at the junction of Johnstone Street and Walsh Ave on the bench above the Terrace Aquatic Centre. The T2 / Steinhoe Ridge Trailhead is located at 1 km. along the Kitselas Road.
