Sooke

Sooke's trails are on the traditional territories of the SC’IȺNEW Nation, meaning “the place of the big fish,” the T’Souke First Nation whose name comes from the local stickleback fish, and the Pacheedaht First Nation, known as the “People of the sea foam."

Where rugged coastline meets lush rainforest, Sooke offers one of Vancouver Island's most scenic and diverse mountain biking experiences. Winding through towering second-growth forests, moss-covered rock slabs, and fern-lined singletrack, the trail network blends natural technical riding with flowing descents, rewarding riders with sweeping ocean views, hidden lakes, and the unmistakable beauty of BC's west coast.

Just minutes from the heart of Sooke, riders can access an ever-growing network of purpose-built and classic trails maintained by the Sooke Bike Club and dedicated volunteers. Whether you're carving smooth flow on beginner-friendly terrain, navigating technical rock rolls and root gardens, or tackling steep, rugged descents that showcase the area's natural granite features, Sooke delivers an authentic west coast riding experience. From family-friendly loops to challenging all-mountain adventures, the network offers something for every rider while preserving the wild character that makes Sooke a destination unlike anywhere else on Vancouver Island.
