Arrow Slocan

Arrow Slocan offers a diverse mountain bike experience, from hand-built and machine-built downhill and XC trails to adaptive riding areas, jump lines, and more than 100 km of rail trail. Mt. Abriel near Nakusp is one of the region’s flagship riding destinations, while the Arrow and Slocan valleys are connected by a network of lakeside and riverfront trails.

Standout rides include the Rosebery Trail Network’s “Butter” descent, linking into the Spine Trail with sweeping views toward Valhalla Provincial Park, and the Box Lake network near Nakusp. Deep in the Monashee Range, Sol Mountain Lodge offers guided backcountry riding on remote alpine trails accessed by high-clearance 4WD road from the Nakusp area.

Trails in the Arrow Slocan are located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Sinixt, Ktunaxa, and Syilx (Okanagan) Nations
