A group of us are headed up to Snowden for the May long weekend. We keep hearing how great the trails are there. We are looking for a decent spot (with the best access to the trails) to camp. I have a copy of the map for the area and it shows a number of lakes that the trails wind around. We are looking to ride for a day, come back to camp. Maybe fish and have some beers.
Then do it all again the next day
If you want to be a bit out of town, get reservations at Loveland Bay Provincial Park. If you want to stay at a nice campground walking distance to the beer and wine/restaurants, stay at Elk Falls Provincial Park. Both are nice campgrounds and allow quick access to the trails, Elk Falls has showers and facilities, Loveland Bay has no showers, but a lake to swim in, which will be cold in May.
PM me closer to May long and I can set you up with a local to give you a tour if you want or can suggest a good loop depending on how far you want to ride and the groups abilities.
