About

The Reinecker Creek trails provide opportunities for a long day or overnight hike, snowshoe, or half to full day mountain bike circuit through the forested valley above Herald Provincial Park.

On the east side of the creek is the East Trail, an 8 km non-motorized singletrack trail that begins in Herald Park at the northmost point of the Upper Canyon Loop trail. On the west side of the creek is an 8 km route using the 2.5 km  multi-use doubletrack Upper West trail, Bastion Mtn FSR, and the 3 km non-motorized singletrack West trail.

In addition to the creek crossing on Herald Park's Upper Canyon Loop, there are two creek crossing points; the mid-creek crossing approx. 5 km up the East trail and the north crossing 10 km up at the northmost end of the trail system. These creek crossings create various loop options, including a 20 km lollypop loop option using the Upper West trail and a 10 km loop option using the West trail.

It is possible to continue past the north end of the trail system on the FSR into White Lake valley, but this route is unmarked and should only be used by those familiar with the area. 

Access

Herald Park access: 15 km west of Salmon Arm on Hwy 1, or 18 km east from Sorrento, turn east onto Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Rd and travel 12 km. Park at the Margaret Falls parking lot on the left (north) or in Herald Provincial Park day-use area on the right (south) side of the road.

Bastion Mtn FSR access: From Hwy 1, travel 7 km on Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Rd and turn left on Bastion Mountain FSR (watch for logging traffic, the first 2 km is very narrow and steep with no room for passing). Follow the main FSR for 6.4 km to the middle trailhead or 10.7 km to the upper trailhead.

Hike and snowshoe access: follow the trail signs from the north side of the parking lot back up to Sunnybrae Rd. Cross the road and continue up the wooden stairs. 

Mountain bike access: Ride the parking lot road back up to Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Rd, turn left and ride back past the Margaret Falls parking lot to the yellow gate on the right. Keep straight ahead on the east side of the Upper Canyon Loop, then turn left right after you cross the bridge at the north end of the Canyon Loop.
