The Moonraker Trails are a great mix of superb single track and old roads. Established in 1976 as Nordic ski trails by the Ministry of Forest. They were used for about three years and than fell into disrepair because of poor winter access.

In the early 90’s Jean Dyck of Canyon Creek Trail Rides opened up some of the trail for horseback riding. The MOF opened the remainder of the trails used today in 1996. These trails are now multi-use. They are enjoyed by hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikes in the summer. In winter the trails are used for snowshoeing and adventurous nordic skiing.

Trail maps available at local bike shops.

2% - 7 km
Easy climb on an old railway grade, giving access to the other trails at Sander Lake Campground and in the Cedar Lake area.

Cedar Snag – 4.2 km
Lots of small ups and downs before it drops you down past 2 small lakes. Beautiful single track past the lakes, then veers east to join North Star.

North Star – 3.8 km
Similar to Cedar Snag in terrain and aspect but with a few longer climbs. Intersects with Cedar Snag and Cedar Camp that make some interesting loops which can be travelled in both directions.

Cedar Camp – 1.5 km
A rolling trail that takes you along Cedar Lake to Cedar 2 and up to North Star.

Bear Claw – 2.9 km
With access points near the campground and Canyon Creek, and some steep climbs this trail can be combined with other trails to make some challenging loops. Part of this trail is the access road to the tower.

Moonraker – 1.3 km
Best ridden from north to south. There are some steep climbs as you reach it’s summit but worth it for it’s roller coaster descent down towards Canyon Creek. Take the time to check out the viewpoint just south of the summit.

Devil’s Slide – 0.7 km
Short but fun. Drops from the tower to Klahowya at a 10 percent grade. It makes for a challenging ride up.

Klahowya – 1.3 km
With Ptarmigan Trot, quickest way to get from the campground to a viewpoint on Canyon Creek.

Bear Cub - 0.25 km
A short flat connector trail between Bear Claw and Ptarmigan Trot.

Ptarmigan Trot – 2.3 km
This trail around Sander Lake is a relatively easy loop and can be done by novice riders of all ages.

Kissime Lookout – .8km
A nice diversion off of Ptarmigan Trot.

Canyon Creek – 17 km
Premiere trail in this system. Well worth the 13 km of old railway bed and logging road riding for the view from the top. A Spectacular 200m drop into Canyon Creek, which you will descend in 4 km of single track on an old wagon road. Watch for goats!

Wapiti Ridge – 0.6 km
Short powerline diversion to the bridge on Ptarmigan Trot. A trail not shown on the map intersects the powerline and goes into private land.

Windigo Chute – 0.6
The access road to the powerline. Steep ride up but a quick ride down.
