Hangman Springs Trails

Trail Network
"Hangman Springs Trail is a network of loop trails used, mainly by mountain bikers and horseback riders. The 20 kilometre trail system navigates mostly forests with some single track and dirt jumps. The Hangman Springs Trail is best accessed from Nazko Road located west of Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada The trail network is maintained by the Baker Creek Endurance Riders. These trails are multi-use and you can expect to find equestrians, mountain bikers, and ATVs sharing the trail network. The highlight of the trails are very scenic views along Baker Creek so make sure no matter how your travelling the trails that you bring your camera."

For more the more adventurous, it is possible to explore the further along Baker Creek in both directions. However, the trail along the creek canyon may be difficult to follow in places due to lack of maintenance and use. Please remember that the entire area is used for cattle grazing. Please respect historic ranching use in this area by closing gates and showing respect for private. You will need to ask landowners for permission to cross their land if heading from Hangman Springs to Pinnacles.
