Coburn Trail

Day Ride Trail
An 8 km trail with great variety - tall timber, good slopes (some very steep!) and a ride way above the Fraser River at Red Rock, a community just 20 minutes south of Prince George.

Seasonal creeks.
Limited at this time along Cale Creek Pit Road (off Merton Road, off Red Rock Road, off Hwy 97South.)
Room for a couple of bumper pull trailers to get turned around and park along the side of the road. IF THERE IS GRAVEL BEING HAULED FROM THE PIT YOU MAY WANT TO RECONSIDER LEAVING YOUR RIG THERE. If the gate is locked likely they're not hauling. Head out on the trail past & to the right or left of the gate (clearly marked) and follow the markers. Beautiful ride on a hot day, lots of shade. This trail has an Equestrian & Hiking reservation.
Note: Also check under Upload/Download tab to see if there are more maps available. If the map below shows red lines, these indicate ridable trails which can be downloaded to your GPS (see Upload/Download tab)
South of Prince George approx 20 minutes, turn RIGHT on Red Rock Road, drive 2 or 3 km, turn RIGHT on Merton Road, 1st RIGHT is Cale Creek Pit Road. Drive along there to a steel gate (there's a wide driveway to park in or turn around, parking is on the road). No actual parking lot yet.

Don't attempt to ride this trail until after our annual workbee, which will follow a hearty pancake & egg "breakfast by donation" at the Red Rock Firehall. Everyone welcome. If you enjoy riding &/or hiking this trail - we sincerely appreciate your help!

Just letting you know the full loop is NOT accessible. You can follow the trail from the S trailhead (beside the red gate) but this is a bit technical, OR ride/drive down to the pit and access the river trail off the short road south towards a closed gate. You will need to back-track at the end or ride the road back to the pit at this point. Hoping for another good workbee to get this opened up but may not happen before the snow flies. Still a beautiful ride!

Trail extended! posted on: 07 / 04 / 2019

We have lengthened the loop at the North end of the trail (sorry Kate Peebles!) and Avenza will tell you you're off the map. However, it IS well marked so go ahead and follow the markers; it's unlikely you'll get lost. Future plan is to extend all the way to Buckhorn Park off of 15 Mile Road where there is a larger staging area.

Fantastic trail, lovely lookouts and view points. Trail was well marked, but using Avenza is advisable as we relied heavily on it to guide us to the correct trail head at the north end. There are some steep areas to navigate, and was wet when we rode it today. We had a fantastic time and will be back again!!!!

Trail markers for loop are complete! posted on: 05 / 30 / 2019

Do not count on the gravel pit gate being unlocked. You can park trailers on the edge of Cale Creek Pit Road. There is a good driveway to back into for turning around.

This trail should be ridden with someone already familiar with it as not all markers are clear & you could get lost unless you have the Avenza map. At this time the pit gate is open.
