Day Two.

Mountain Biking.

Book a guided mountain bike ride or lesson with Wandering Wheels. Revelstoke’s mountain bike trails are world-class, and a family trip is a great chance to get out and explore on two wheels. Your guide will tailor the excursion to your family’s ability and goals, so you’re sure to make the best of your mountain bike experience.

For younger children, the Miller Time adaptive loop and skills lines are great, even on run bikes. Mount Revelstoke National Park is home to the Beaver Lodge Bike Park (pictured), located in the Nels Nelsen area. This interpretive play park has fun features for kids to try their skills on.

In the afternoon, head to our local Aquatic Centre. It’s got a climbing wall, a water slide, a splash area, and a lazy river – enough to keep any kid happy! Many accommodations have pool passes included, so check with your accommodations to see about getting pool admission.

Near Revelstoke, Williamson Lake has warm water, a raft to swim to, and a beach to picnic on. Right next to the lake, there’s also a mini golf course! This is a great spot to park up and relax, build a sand castle, and go for a swim.

If your family has energy to spare, head out to Sutherland Falls at Blanket Creek Provincial Park. You can also hit Begbie Falls on your way. Both are short hikes to magnificent waterfalls.
