Burns Lake’s Thriving Mountain Biking Community
Burns Lake’s mountain biking community is highly active and well-organized, with an abundance of accessible and easy-to-navigate trails. Boer Mountain Recreation Site, which spans over 4000 hectares of Crown land, is the primary location for mountain biking in the area, located just a short drive north of the town. The recreation site includes a campground on Kager Lake, which serves as the “hub” for approximately 30 km of downhill and 60 km of cross-country trails. For beginner and intermediate riders, trails around Kager Lake provide a fun and enjoyable experience. For advanced riders, there are various challenging options to choose from, including the 18 km Razorback all-mountain trail, which runs from the Bike Park to the top of Boer Mountain. From the top, riders can choose from several other options including the 10 km Pigasus down-country trail, the black diamond Full Boer or Shawn’s Flow, and the blue runs Charlottes Web and the signature Gravity Logic built When Pigs Fly. The pinnacle of the ride is the Pierce Hofer Memorial, an impressive 2000+ square foot wall ride that sits adjacent to the Kager Lake parking lot.
