Off Road Odyssey.
An abundance of dirt and gravel roads wind through picturesque valleys, rainforests, and rolling hills. Get ready to conquer gravel climbs, navigate technical descents, and immerse yourself in the raw beauty of the great outdoors.
The Flats
"The Flats" was once a large stretch of farmland south of Revelstoke that was flooded when the construction of the dam took place in the 60s. While the area experiences winter snow and summer flooding, spring and fall unveil the old roads that connected the valley, making it a great spot for scenic, mellow gravel riding.
Start at Kovach Park and follow the dirt roads or smaller trails as far south as 9 Mile.
Mount Macpherson
Known for its exceptional mountain biking, Mount Macpherson also offers an extensive network of gravel trails. Explore the serene forests, meandering rivers, and rolling hills while enjoying a mix of gravel and dirt paths which are used primarily by the Revelstoke Nordic Centre in the winter.
Alkokolex & Crawford FSRs
Up To 83km Return Trip
Follow Airport Way south from Revelstoke and continue almost until the end of the pavement. Take a left turn onto the Akolkolux FSR until you reach kilometre 12.5. Continue east, following the Alkokolux river for a moderate ride or continue on to the Sproat Mountain trailhead (41km) for views of the Gold Range across the lake.
**The Backroad Mapbook or other mapping tools are recommended due to the numerous branch roads and the tendency of the directional signage to go missing. This is an active industrial road - using a two-way radio with resource road channels is necessary.
Downie FSR
Up To 82km Round Trip
Amongst all the FSRs on Highway 23N, the best is Downie Creek FSR. Starting about 65km north of Highway 1, the road curves into the Selkirk Mountains, with towering rock walls and glaciated peaks on either side. There is minimal climbing and the views get better the farther you go. Optional: Sorcerer FSR at 15km to explore another drainage.
