Welcome to Fish Creek - Trail maintained in part by the Calgary Mountain Bike Alliance (CMBA). This is a short loop that will satisfy both beginner and intermediate riders. You'll roll through the heart of the West end of Fish Creek which is very forested and has lovely scenery including the creek itself and much wildlife. Most trails are rated for beginners but there are a few sections that will require some technical riding skills. The loop is best accessed from Bebo Grove parking lot and ridden in a clockwise direction. Note that these trails are multi0use and that good trail etiquette should be followed.
