Volunteer-built island trails, from easy forest loops to the Morte Lake network, a short ferry ride from town.
About Quadra Island Bike Trails
Quadra Island has a well-kept network of hiking and biking trails, sanctioned by the BC Ministry of Forests and BC Parks and maintained by local volunteers through the Quadra Island Trails Committee. Riders should know the difference between sanctioned trails and routes: routes are rough, unmaintained lines for experienced backcountry users only.
The Morte Lake area is the main riding hub, with dedicated bike trails joining the Morte Lake Trail. For easy riding, the Community Centre trails between West Road and Heriot Bay Road are flat and forested.
Take the BC Ferries sailing from Campbell River to Quathiaski Cove. For Morte Lake, head east on Heriot Bay Road, left on West Road, left on Hyacinthe Bay Road, then left on Walcan Road to the parking areas. Bikes yield to foot traffic, and A.T.V.s and other vehicles are not permitted on the trails.
