Pilot Mountain and Wright Creek

This is a 70km gravel loop that is often fairly fast. There is one short deactivation of about 1m that you need to walk as of July 2025 but otherwise this is entirely rideable.

Takla, 200 FSR, Pilot Mountain

This starts at the overflow parking for Pidherny heads down North Nechako and then up Takla Road. Takla has been sloppy in 2025 with some working being done on it that should eventually improve it. At the top of Takla take a right to go to Ness Lake road then turn on Chief Lake Road for a longer fast road section. Turn right on 200 FSR and then right about 10km later on a road I don’t know the name of. Follow that for about 10km to turn on Pilot Mountain Road which takes you back to pavement.

Domano, Fyfe and Blackwater Climbing Route

This takes you up over Fyfe from the end of Domano road to West Lake. If you’re looking for a more beginner friendly ride head back to town on the road instead of detouring back into the hills for more climbing.

Isle Pierre

Leaving from where Chief Lake and Ness Lake roads meet head towards Ness Lake and turn on Reid Lake road. Hang a right on Isle Pierre and follow it to the drop to the river. Heading back you can either retrace your steps or take a quieter road. Watch for 2 electric fence crossings. You’ll have to dismount and move the fence or put your bike over it. The herding dogs have always been friendly when I’ve passed through this 200m of connection between two pastures.

You could also connect this into Eskers or head back up to Ness Lake road to come back on the road to your starting point.

Isle Pierre and Norman Lake

This starts at the store and heads across the highway to the north side. With some rolling hills you quickly get into a fairly steep gravel descent before you climb back out on blacktop. Then head across the highway towards Norman Lake. Stop in at the parks on the way for some pretty lakes then work your way across a wide quad trail (no ruts last I was there) till you get to the FSR and head back to the highway. Start early because I recommend the breakfast at the store.
