Biking

From ocean to meadow to forest to mountain, the Comox Valley offers five distinct areas of mountain biking trails for all levels of riders.
Year-round trails near Comox Lake and along the Puntledge River represent some of the most varied and rewarding biking trails in BC. Stunning scenery, wildlife and unpredictability pump adrenalin for bikers and adventure seekers.
Custom-Tailored Challenge
Riders in search of full-throttle challenge, physical and technical, will look to the B21/Boston Main and Tomato Creek. Salamander, Bears Bait, the Bevan Trail and the Dump are just right for moderates. For an easy ride on a flat single track, try Seal Bay Nature Park.
Comox Lake-Puntledge River Trails
The Comox Lake-Puntledge River Trails constitute one of the largest mountain biking trail systems on Vancouver Island. Nine different trails start at Comox Lake. All are notable for scenic beauty and a challenging versatility of terrain.

Puntledge Plunge
The first road north, B21, after 15 minutes of uphill cycling, brings adventurers to the scary-sounding Puntledge Plunge. Those who accept the challenge discover why it's called "plunge" as they soar into near-vertical descent.
Nymph Falls
The 4.7km/2.9m Bear Bait Trail loops around the river and connects to rails in Nymph Falls Regional Park. Nymphs prove evasive as usual, but the Falls, with the Puntledge River cascading over bedrock shelves into a deep pool, rarely disappoints. The adjacent rock terrace is an idyllic picnicking site. In fall, it's an ideal lookout to watch spawning salmon battle their way upstream.
Mount Washington Descent
For a long, gentle but exciting ride, 1590m/5,216ft-high Mount Washington delivers the thrills. Mountain biking seasons usually begins by July 1 and extends through August. Catch the Blue chairlift to the top, opt for leisure and spend the day on a gradual descent into the Comox Valley.
Bike Tours
Courtenay's Trans Isle Cycling Tours offers biking excursions from 2 hours to 7 days in length. The 4-day, 3-night Northern Island Explorer focuses on a trip from Nanaimo to the Comox Valley and trailheads around Courtenay and Campbell River. This is biking for intermediate and advanced riders. The journey also includes white water tubing and options on hiking, kayaking and canoeing. Bring bathing suits and cameras.
