The Okanagan's original freeride network: wood stunts, gap jumps and rock gardens for intermediate and expert riders.
About Gillard Trails
Gillard is the Okanagan's original freeride trail network, south of the Kettle Valley neighbourhood. It is sanctioned by Recreation Sites and Trails BC and looked after by Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan. Expect fast singletrack, wood stunts, gap jumps, skinnies, rock gardens and slabs.
It suits intermediate and advanced riders and is best ridden as a shuttle: most riders get a ride up Gillard Forest Service Road and descend. A full-face helmet and a full-suspension bike are recommended.
From Lakeshore Road, take Chute Lake Road to Gillard Forest Service Road. The Recreation Sites and Trails BC parking lot is about 3.8 km up the FSR.
