Rubberhead started off as a single mountain bike trail in the late 1980’s and has expanded into a network of trails. Now, the area offers a variety of downhill mountain bike options for intermediate to advanced riders. From steep and rooty to open and flowy, this trail system has something for everyone. An impressive new addition to this system is the jump line, Mourning Wood, featuring well-crafted bike park-style jumps, tables, doubles, step-ups, and bermed corners. Take the Larch Hills Nordic trail Lichen Traverse back to the top for quick loops of the jump line. In the winter, the Rubberhead trails create a fun series of trails to explore on snowshoes.
The Rubberhead trail system also links into the new Ida View trail to South Canoe, the Larch Hills Nordic trail system, and the Larch Hills Traverse to Sicamous. Together these trails can be linked into a variety of epic cross-country rides that are attracting visitors from far and wide. Lots of opportunity to get creative!
The main lower parking is at 2.5 km up the 110 FSR. Here you will find parking and maps of the trail system. Downhill trailheads range from 4 km to 11 km up the 110 FSR. Climbing trails Double D and Rubberhead Climb can be ridden up to the 7 km mark on the 110 FSR or link Yellow Brick Road and Veggie Road to the Larch Hills Traverse – Ida View for a scenic climb to the top of the system at Half Baked. Shuttling is also possible, but sections of road have been deactivated and require a high clearance vehicle.
The trail system is looked after by the Shuswap Cycling Club. For more information, visit shuswapbike.com.
