Salmon Brewster Trail Corridor

Back Country Trail
The Salmon Brewster Trail Corridor is a 43 km non-motorized route connecting Memekay, Pine Marten, and Brewster horse camps. The trail follows old railway grades, wildlife paths, rivers, and historic roads through rugged wilderness. Suitable for all riders, with some more challenging sections, the trail includes varied footing and river crossings. The corridor is under remediation through 2025—check the Back Country Horsemen – North Vancouver Island Chapter Facebook page for updates. Maps are available in the Upload/Download tab and on the Avenza Maps app. Managed by the Back Country Horsemen of BC – North Vancouver Island Chapter. Please sign guest books, keep sites clean, and consider donating to support maintenance.
