Shoesmith Trail

Highlight • Trail

Originally built as part of Golden Ears Provincial Park's horseback riding network, Shoesmith Trail follows a wide forest corridor through the lower slopes of the park. The route winds beneath towering cedars and Douglas-firs, crossing small creeks and damp woodland typical of British Columbia's coastal rainforest. Unlike some of the park's steeper mountain trails, Shoesmith feels more secluded and relaxed, making it a great way to experience the forest without the crowds found around Alouette Lake and the main day-use areas.

Bear Claw

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Deep in the forest, Bear Claw is a peaceful multipurpose trail with two distinct moods: deciduous woodland to the north and quiet evergreen forest to the south. The change in scenery is especially striking in winter.

The trail is shared with bikes and horses, so stay aware and give others plenty of space.

Tent Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Tent Trail is a peaceful singletrack through beautiful forest, with a few streamside sections that can turn muddy after rain. Mountain bikers use this trail often, so stay alert on bends and enjoy the quieter moments between the trees.
