THANK YOU TO KELOWNA POWERSPORTS!
Mike Morra at Kelowna Powersports has generously sponsored Bear Creek for another year and set us up with a shiny new Honda Pioneer SxS that we'll be using for trail maintenance. If you're in the market for a new ride they've got a wide selection of two and four wheel machines in stock and are ready to make a deal.

May 2025 Trail Update
Logging is ongoing near the intersection of 32 & 33 so be cautious in this area. The snow is gone but the runoff continues creating muddy and wet sections.
+95% of the trail system is open. There are still some burned sections being rehabbed, please use extra caution and expect the unexpected in these areas!
***NO SPARK ARRESTOR / NO RIDE***
All rides, orange, red, yellow, blue, green, big, small, old, young, two wheels, 4 wheels, 2 stroke and 4 stroke will be checked before unloading.
No joking don't show up without a spark arrestor!
