Part of the Carmi XC Ski network. Can be used for gentle rides in the summer to escape the heat. Unfortunately there are many many intersecting tracks due to the extensive 4x4 usage.
When all else fails, head south/dowhill until you come back to the road.

Access Info

Drive up Carmi Ave from Penticton until you hit the right hand turn for Beaverdell Road. Follow this 4km past the cattle guard at The Lost Moose Resort. You will find a parking lot on your right, possibly full of garbage and fire pits unfortunately.

This trail is unsanctioned.
