The entire town of Sicamous is laced with signed greenway trails creating a destination worthy of exploration. You can explore separated parallel trails to the Eagle River estuary, walk the beach and Riverfront Nature Park trails, stroll the 1 km greenway trail in the forest down the west side of Hwy 97, follow designated walk/bike routes through town, stroll the walkway along the narrows, or wheel your kayak down to the hand launch for a paddle. Stop by Sicamous Beach Park for a swim and to learn about Secwépemc oral history and Secwepemctsín place names at the Sekmaws Secwépemc Landmark sculpture or Finlayson Park for more trails and exercise stations. You can also enjoy a leisurely stroll while learning more about the history of the town on the Sicamous Heritage Trail. Check with the Sicamous Visitor Centre for a map.
For longer adventures, travel south on Hwy 97A to Sicamous Creek falls or cross the narrows bridge and link into the Hyde Mountain Lookout, Larch Hills Traverse, the Old Sicamous Highway trail, and the Splatsin te Secwépemc - Shuswap North Okanagan Rail Trail. Access across the bridge may be limited during the R.W. Bruhn Bridge construction project (fall 2024-late 2027). Watch here for updates on trailhead access and DriveBC or the Government of B.C. R.W. Bruhn project page for updates on road closures.
Special thanks to the District of Sicamous Council and staff, the Sicamous and Area Chamber of Commerce (who really launched their trail system 20 years ago), and the Shuswap Trail Alliance and many volunteers who continue to contribute to the growing greenway trails.
