The Connector from Stove Trail across Mount Fernie Park to Lazy Lizard Trail is complete! This 10 kilometer trail allows you to avoid riding the road. It can be used when returning from Brokeback, Hedonism, and Lazy Lizard.

Jemi Fibre is currently logging on their private land in the Fernie area. You have likely noticed some changes to the trail network. The Fernie Trails Alliance (FTA) has been closely working with Jemi Fibre to make sure their operations run smoothly and cause little disruption to our trails. Jemi has been very observant of the amount of trail usage and is conscious of trail user groups. It’s rare in these circumstances that the logging area is open for recreational use whilst operations are in process. However, Jemi are keeping their land open so we can enjoy the trails.

FAIRY CREEK PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE PROJECT 2016
What is the project?
Submitted by juliek on July 29, 2015 - 09:28
It was a huge success! We sold over 210 tickets and devoured over 215 burgers! More importantly, we raised almost $9,500 to help build and maintain the trails we all love and use in Fernie.
Thank you to all the Thunder Ridge owners for your support and contributions, to our sponsors, donors for the silent auction and volunteers who made it happen.
