2022 Salmon Brewster Trail Corridor - trail status - things to know posted on: 06 / 02 / 2022
Update on Salmon Brewster trail system 2022 riding season - there has been significant winter snow bringing a lot of trees down, please remember to carry a saw. Be ready to turn around or find an alternate route. Best to plan to ride sections of the trail, versus all the way through. Grazing lease trails should be good. New trail opened by volunteers that you don't have to open/close gates to get to north crossing of the Salmon River. Note: fresh trail, still needs a little tlc and watch for old barb wire by fence line. North Loop Trail, we have opened an alternate route to avoid the Bog, but you have to ride either upstream or downstream, through the river or along the edge, crossing where it is safe. Please be safe savvy, ride in a group have one or two scout it out first before taking the larger group. once you've got it figured, it is very doable. South Loop Trail, should be ok to the swimming hole but...could be more trees down. Swimming hole to Pine Marten, has not been checked and we still need to open a trail to avoid the bog close to Pine Marten, not recommended section at the moment. Pine Marten to Miriam Creek crossing trail section of the corridor has some issues that need to be addressed for safety. some of the trail is amazing but some sections I would not cross, Please be very trail safe savvy if you decide to explore. The goal is to have this section upgraded by 2023. Miriam Creek south to Bodil Lake there will be some harvesting expected in the Brewster Lake along Memekay main road/Miraim Creek spur - I would avoid this trail section in 2022. Bodil Lake to Brewster Lake, we have opened up some of this trail, need another day or two but really nice area all around Brewster to explore. 2022 is NOT the year to plan riding the full 40km trail corridor.

this site is undevelopment, there is fencing however would need to be checked/repaired to ensure containment of your horses. there is a highline area. NOTE: trail north to memekay, near Pine 100 has a significant bog area and extreme caution or best to avoid until this section can be rehabilitated.

Summer activity Brewster, Pine Marten, Salmon Memekay trail posted on: 06 / 01 / 2018
June 14th to 17th – group travelling into Brewster to camp and ride parts of the trail towards Pine Marten; likely travel across on Memekay main (saturday 16th) to memekay horse camp; June 21st/22nd to 24/25 – large group heading into memekay horse camp on 21st/22nd ; then saturday early am travelling with horse trailers on memekay main to Brewster horse camp to drop off riders and travel back with horse trailers to memekay horse camp. The riders (approx 10) will be riding from brewster through to memekay on saturday, june 23rd. - WFP is on a 7 days/week hauling. Most hauling is completed by 4:00pm so this would be the ideal time to be traveling. - The main roads (Memekay, Big Tree and Salmon River Main) will be active during the dates you mentioned. BT500 will likely be active all of June and into Mid July. - I would recommend avoiding BT500 with trailers if possible (use BT600). Riders on the BT500 section of trail where it gets close to the road should expect log trucks and dismount for this short section. June 28/29 to July 2/3 – large group heading into memekay horse camp to camp/ride in the area;
