The Shuswap-North Okanagan Rail Trail between Sicamous and Armstrong is moving forward! The Shuswap Trail Alliance is pleased to continue to support the efforts of the Splatsin and local RDNO/CSRD regional and municipal governments in the next phases of planning and development of the rail trail between Sicamous and Armstrong. It is an unprecedented opportunity to realize what Splatsin Kupki7 (Chief) Wayne Christian and Council have described as telling the true story of the area. Technical designs are completed, and capital fundraising is underway to start construction. Consider making a charitable tax-recieptable donation to the Rail Trail Capital Campaign today.

Geo-Referenced PDF Maps: Thanks to the spectacular partnership with the great folks at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District GIS Department, many Shuswap Trail listings have geo-referenced pdf maps you can print out just like normal maps, or use uploaded to your smart phone for navigation in the field. As part of the Shuswap Tourism and Shuswap Regional Trails Roundtable partnership agreements, the CSRD GIS office has taken on acting as the central hub for all final master trail mapping GIS files. That means as we all work together throughout the Shuswap to develop trails and map changes it will all be coordinated in one place and updated to the online Shuswap Trails website guide. You will see the Geo-Referenced PDF maps as links in the body of each trail description posted here. Not all trails have maps, but many do, and more are getting created, updated, and added all the time. So be sure to keep checking back. Maps can be printed, or uploaded into mobile apps like Avenzas PDF Maps, which let these pdf's function as a base map with your phone's gps system. Our sincere thanks to all the talented, passionate, and committed GIS folks at the CSRD. And special thanks, also, to the Salmon Arm MRDT Hotel Tax funding that also supports this initiative. Thank you all! Trail Notices: check www.shuswaptrails.com for update notices on trail conditions throughout the region. But please remember - while we make every effort to keep info postings up-to-date there's lots going on so we may have missed something. Let us know through the trailreport@shuswaptrails.com hotline. Other good sources of current trail info online include the Shuswap Bike Club website at www.shuswapbike.com, Larch Hills Nordic at www.skilarchhills.ca, and trail sites like our good friends at www.trailforks.com.
