The Begbie Creek Trails are situated within the Begbie Falls integrated Resource Plan area south of Revelstoke, and partly within the Begbie Falls Recreation Site. A local level plan was completed in August 1993 which allows for the management of a variety of resource values in the area. The plan involved public input and was developed over a two year period. It recognizes the high recreational values within the area and allows for strategic reserves where harvesting conflicts will be minimized. New trail construction was completed by the Mt. Begbie Recreational Improvement Association in the summers of 1993/94. A total of 5km of trail has now been completed and is used by local mountain bikers, hikers, horseback riders and rock climbers wishing to access the rock bluffs. Motorized use of the trails is strictly prohibited.
To access the trails follow Hwy. 23 south of Revelstoke and turn off at Clough Road. Drive to the bottom of the hill and turn right onto Begbie Road. Follow the signs to the start of the Begbie Falls Forest Service Road. From this point there is a trailhead 150m down the road on the right. Another trailhead can be reached by staying on Hwy 23 south and driving past the Mt McPherson Ski Trail parking lot approximately 1 km. Look for the first turnoff to the left where there is a small parking lot and bulletin board. As the trial is narrow, users should be alert for other traffic. Mountain bikers should dismount and yield the right-of- way to all other users. There is a registration box at the Hwy 23 trailhead. Users are encouraged to sign in and comment on their experience. Please note that the registration box is not intended as a safety system.
