Trail Etiquette
We don’t own the land, we are simply caretakers. We ask you to respect the trails and those who advocate, maintain and use them. Here are a few simple guidelines to help us keep our networks sustainable:
Stick to Mountain Bike Trails
LEARN MORE
Absolutely no riding on motorized or hiking only trails. Check the signage or Trailforks to confirm it's designated use and level. Watch for oncoming traffic and be careful at intersections where other trail users may be crossing or merging.
Know Your Level and Limits
LEARN MORE
The trails range from beginner to expert. Select trails that are at your level. Wood features, exposed roots, rocks, drops and steep sections are common on higher level trails. If you are riding alone let someone know where you're going.
Don't Shred the Trails
LEARN MORE
Don't shred the trails! On extremely wet, snowy, or even dry and dusty days, please avoid riding. This will prevent serious trail damage and extra maintenance work to repair the soft terrain.
Respect All Trail Users
LEARN MORE
Our trails are shared by many user groups within the Fraser Valley. You may encounter motorbikes, hikers, runners and horseback riders. Please respect all individuals and use good judgment. If you happen to come across a horseback rider please pull off the trail and allow the horse to proceed.
Leave No Trace
LEARN MORE
Clean up after yourselves please. We all need to take our garbage out when we go. No one will do it for you.
Lend a Hand
LEARN MORE
Remove any debris that can be managed by hand or small saw. Report any larder hazards (downed trees, washouts, broken bridges etc.) on Trailforks. Consider volunteering for scheduled FVMBA trail maintenance days but never conduct any trail repairs or alterations without contacting FVMBA.
Volunteer
LEARN MORE
The FVMBA has regularly scheduled trail maintenance events, and we could always use more hands! Join us social media to stay up-to-date with upcoming dates. All are welcome so bring your family and friends!
Respect Wildlife
LEARN MORE
Bears, cougars, deer, frogs, and more are part of the delicate eco-system of the trails. Please protect both them and yourselves while on the trails. Carry bear spray at ALL times of year as our local bears do not always reach full hibernation!
