A cool natural line persists and stays the most popular downhill at
Kokanee, despite the long approach to get here. At the powerlines,
trail naturally merges with Doz Slabs, but heading left will take you to
the elusive real ending that comes out at the Kokanee Creek Provincial
Park-Redfish campground.

100% agree with the comment about pedaling in from the bridge. Very mellow pedal and lower Hitman is worth it. Good mix of flow and tech and rides more like a dark blue trail.
ErikTheRad
Great trail! The drive along West Kokanee Face FSR is rough, probably easier to take the bikes off and ride it, not much uphill anyway.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
