Site Description:
This 38 km epic trail passes over the beautiful Larch Hills, connecting the communities of Sicamous and Salmon Arm. Be prepared for stunning views of the lake and Mountains. This is a four season trail, for all non-motorized recreationists.
This trail is best done west to east, either starting at the South Canoe Recreation Trail or Larch Hills Recreation Site. Most recreationists will leave a vehicle in Sicamous at the Visitor Centre (in the gravel lot) and have a secondary vehicle drive them to the starting location.
The trail ends on a gravel road west of Sicamous, there is no available parking here. Travel down the gravel road and turn right onto the highway and over the Sicamous Narrows Bridge (use sidewalk on the north side) to head back to the parking area at the visitor center.
