Revelstoke's trail fairies do the behind-the-scenes work to bring you big mountain adventure.

Revelstoke is famed for its incredible trails; people from all over the world come here to access our alpine scenery and enchanting rainforest. Much of the work that goes into trail development and construction in Revelstoke is the result of the efforts of our tireless community groups.  It's largely up to them to source funding for construction and maintenance. When you hit the trails in Revelstoke to bike, hike, run or climb, take a moment to thank the incredible volunteers who help plan, build and maintain our trails by donating to a trail society.

Revelstoke Cycling Association.

The Revelstoke Cycling Association plans, constructs and maintains the majority of Revelstoke's mountain biking trails. The club was formed in 1994 and has seen massive growth since then with the rise of mountain biking's popularity. In addition to their efforts  behind the scenes, the Revelstoke Cycling Association hosts regular volunteer dig nights throughout the season, community "fiver" races, membership socials and other programming.

REVY RIDERS.

The Revy Riders Dirtbike Club was officially formed in November of 2008 in an attempt to keep Revelstoke's original Motocross track from being decommissioned. In the late 70’s, a group of local businessmen used some land that was leased to the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club located in the Industrial Park to build their legendary dirtbike track. The club maintains a large network of trails along with the track. They host events throughout the season and are the epicentre of dirtbiking in the community.

Illecillewaet Greenbelt Society.

The Illecillewaet Greenbelt Society is responsible for the protection and conservation of a 22-acre parcel of land, nearby downtown Revelstoke, along the north shore of the Illecillewaet River extending to the west from the Fourth Street bridge. There are a number of walking trails, and the area is groomed for winter use. The trails that the society maintains are fantastic for biking, walking and birding.
