MOUNTAIN BIKING IN NANAIMO
What better way to get around our fair community? Nanaimo
has over 200 parks encompassing 1100 hectares
of parkland and protected space, most of which is cyclist friendly!
Our newly built Nanaimo Parkway Trail stretches 20
kilometres from Cedar to Upper Lantzville. This paved and tree-lined
corridor is worth a trip here in itself. The Pacific Northwest Parks
Association recently awarded the City of Nanaimo with their coveted
Design of the Year Award for the trail's outstanding features.
Nanaimo's newest trail is a multi-use paved trail paralleling
the E & N Railway. This trail stretches several kilometres and
is used regularly by cyclists, rollerbladers, walkers and runners.
Nanaimo also has miles and miles of great single track
and cross country trails for serious mountain bikers. A newly printed
collection of trail maps and hints is available at local bookstores
and bike shops.
Bikes are available for rental, during the summer months, at Alberni Outpost Adventure Centre, located across the street from The Buccaneer Inn at Sealand Market. Contact them at 250-754-6626 or toll-free 1-866-765-2925.
