The Squamish trail network is as varied as you want to make it - race down a double black diamond mountain bike single track or amble along the riverbank watching for eagles [0]. The network caters to walkers, hikers [0], runners, mountain bikers [0], horse riders [0], cross country skiers [0], trials bikers [0], and snowshoers [0].
Trails are the heart of recreation in the Squamish area, there is an expansive network with so many different peaks to ascend and descend. The continued success and expansion of our trail network depends on the efforts of a dedicated group of volunteers.
As such, please respect our trails and our environment by adhering to a few rules of the Trail.
- Be Prepared
Know your equipment, your ability, the weather, and the area you are going and prepare accordingly. A well-planned route will go smoothly for you and your companions. - Don't Ride – Walk / Hike On Closed Trails
Whether it is to protect the environment or for safety, a closed trail is off limits for a reason. Using closed trails is illegal. - Respect the Trail, Wildlife and Environment
Be sensitive to the trail and its surroundings by riding softly and never skidding. Do not litter and never scare animals. - Stay On the Trail
Do not intentionally go a off trail. Going off trail can damage the ecosystem. Never cut switchbacks. - Ride Slowly On Crowded Trails
Just like a busy highway, when trails are crowded you must move slowly to ensure safety for all trail users. - Pass With Courtesy and Care
Slow down when approaching other trail users and respectfully make others aware you are approaching. Pass with care and be prepared to stop if necessary. - Share the Trail With Other Trail Users
Mountain bikers, hikers, motorized users and equestrians must share multi-use trails. Remember: mountain bikers and motorized users should yield to hikers and equestrians. - Don't Do Unauthorized Trail Work
Unauthorized or illegal trail work may lead to environmental damage, injury or even potential trail closure. Don't change a trail just because you don't like it or can't ride it.
If you have a trail issue contact the District of Squamish Trail Coordinator [1].
