Oct 17, 2026 @ 3:08pm (America/Creston) Oct 17, 2026 | mtb Open more trail with hopefully a bit more to come later this fall. The bridge over the creek bed has not been built yet, so it’s a bit of a rough crossing but rideable. reporter | Unknown | view | |||
Oct 16, 2026 @ 4:26pm (America/Creston) Oct 16, 2026 | mtb The trail is all clear and running great but about 1/2 km down from the top (from Huggard FSR) a dead deer was on the trail. I dragged it off but I am concerned a bear might find it and get aggressive over its food. Be aware! reporter | Ideal | view | |||

May 24, 2026 @ 10:27am (America/Creston) May 24, 2026 | mtb Nicely done Creston Valley Cycling Association! The single track climb trail combined with this descent makes for an excellent start to the trail network. I would highly recommend this combination as a quick 45 minute loop when travelling through the beautiful Creston Valley. There is plenty of tree coverage, ample parking and a great overall riding experience. I’m looking forward to riding more of the upper trails as they continue to be developed. | Ideal | view | |||
Apr 26, 2026 @ 1:23pm (America/Creston) Apr 26, 2026 | mtb Upper section is rated blue but should be black due to no alternate route around steeps and obstacle especially when traction is limited Lower section has 1 or 2 spots where this is also true depending on conditions.

Aug 4, 2025 @ 12:28pm Aug 4, 2025 | hike Following a temporary closure due to a recent grizzly bear encounter in late July 2025, most trails in the Corn Creek Marsh area of the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area are now open to the public. However, a portion of the Wildlife Tree Wander Trail, located along the Kootenay River, will remain closed until further notice. This section is clearly marked on updated trail maps and is indicated at each gated trailhead and intersection. As always, we remind all visitors to be prepared when exploring trails in the CVWMA, where a wide range of wildlife call the area home.
