Cultus Lake Trail

Day Ride Trail
A maintained horse trail, also used by hikers and cyclists, connects Edmeston Road at the north end of the park with Watt Creek Trailhead. 2 hour loop from Watt Creek Trail head 5 hours from Watt Creek Trail Head to Edmeston Trail Heading and return Please note that horses are not permitted on Road 918. The Cultus Lake horse trail is open all year but the parking lot is closed during the off-season. There are approximately 20 km of compact gravel and shale horse trails. Camping and stop-overs in day-use areas are not permitted with horses. Cautionary Note: The trail was closed in August 2013 due to an active landslide in the area. BC Parks installed warning signage and reopened the trail to the public, however; we strongly recommend visitors do not cross the landslide area during periods of intense rainfall.

The Cultus Lake Horse Trail has been GPS'ed and track uploaded. This is a great conditioning trail. Leaving the Watt Creek parking lot you head uphill on switchbacks for a 200 ft elevation gain. The trail levels off and then its uphill again for another 285 ft elevation gain. Great fall riding.
