Tailings Pond, Hope, BC

Trails – Tailings Pond has everything from wide-open fire roads (boring) to tight wicked single track. Pack a lunch and then go exploring. Yahoo Hill and Sesame Street are two wicked trails.

Fun Factor – The first time I rode here I had so much fun I returned every weekend for a month. The only thing that slowed my return was the winter and the low snow pack.

Drive north through Hope up into the Fraser Canyon for approximately 10min. The access to the tailings pond is at B.C. Nickelmine Road. You will cross a small bridge over Texas Creek and Nickelmine Road will be on your left. This paved windy road is steep and then turns to gravel. You will come to a fork in the road. Left is how you get to the gate that can only be opened by a Fraser Valley Off-Road Member. If you are just there for the day you can keep left and park 100 meters up the road.
