Land OwnerFLNROD
Padawan is an easy green flow trail that was designed to accommodate aMTB's (Green Square). The tread is approx. 1.8 meters wide, grades generally do not exceed 8% and curves have a radius that exceeds 6 meters. It is designated as one way (counter clockwise) to ensure that there is no potential for AMTB's to collide.
NOTE: This trail is closed November 1 - April 15 to protect wildlife habitat and migration routes.
We would like to thank our supporters: The Province of British Columbia through the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program (CERIP) program, Columbia Basin Trust, FortisBC, RDEK, and Wildhorse Cycling club through their many individual donors and volunteers. We would also like to acknowledge the support of the local trail construction contractor, Lifetime Outdoor Inc. who helped us stretch our budget and make this extraordinary trail a reality.
