Looking for a weekend adventure that starts right in Campbell River? Snowden or Dust strings together forest singletrack, rolling gravel roads, and lakeside camping opportunities into a two-day bikepacking loop. 🚲🌲 Expect plenty of variety: flowing trails through Snowden Demonstration Forest, granite slabs, fern-lined stretches, and gravel sections between the trail riding. With more than 40% of the route on singletrack and roughly 1,000 metres of climbing, this is more than a casual cruise—but that’s part of the appeal for riders who enjoy a little challenge. Keep your setup manageable, leave room for snacks, and check current trail conditions and camping rules before heading out. A loaded bike handles differently, so a short practice ride is a smart way to sort out your packing before committing to the overnight. The best part? You can build a whole weekend around riding and a night near the water without making it a huge expedition. Who would you bring along: your usual trail buddy or someone ready for their first bikepacking trip?
