In this challenging time we wanted to keep you up to date on the current status of trails in the Fernie area.

Effective April 8th BC Parks closed all provincial parks until further notice in response to COVID-19. More information can be viewed on their website.

We have included a map of our trail network to show the Mount Fernie Provincial Park property boundary. Please refer to Trailforks for a complete list of trails that are closed in our area.

In addition, Nature Conservancy Canada has closed their properties until further notice.  In the Elk Valley they own and manage three main areas in our region including:

1) Hosmer between Fernie and Sparwood;

2) Morrissey area; and

3) Mount Broadwood.

Please see the attached maps and their website for further details.

Finally, please be advised there are logging trucks on River Rd. due to logging in the area. Canwel has made their logging crews aware of the potential of users on the road. If you choose to go out on a solo mission, please be aware of the increase in traffic and stay safe.
