Major new mountain bike trail network proposed overlooking Vernon – Vernon News

The routes would have the city

A proposed trail network could provide new riding options for Vernon mountain bikers.

The North Okanagan Cycling Society is proposing the Vernon Hill Trails, which would take the town over Galiano Road.

The paths will be located on 325 hectares of land of the Crown and would have provide trail connections to the Gray Canal Trail, the planned Ranchlands trail network and eventually to BX.

The Greater Vernon Advisory Board will consider the request at its meeting on Wednesday.

The trails had easy access from the neighborhoods of East Hill and Coldstream and used the existing track infrastructure (Canale Grigio), unsanctioned trails, and old legacy trails.

Formalize the riding area curb Construction of illegal tracks, says the society.

The trails will boast “iconic” views of the city and valley, the group adds.

The RDNO master plan does not currently allow enhanced mountain bike trails.

The project is supported by Recreation Sites & Trails BC.

Supporters hope to break ground in the spring.
