Good news, trail lovers! The Markin-MacPhail Westside Legacy Trail has been swept and is ready for spring riding. ☀️ Reminder - the trail officially opens on May 1, 2025. Happy spring, and see you out there! #cvgreenways #springriding #columbiavalley
We’ve had lots of questions about when the Markin-MacPhail Westside Legacy Trail will be swept - thank you for your patience.
Westside Road is scheduled to be swept by the end of this week, and the trail will follow shortly after, courtesy of the Regional District of East Kootenay.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we get ready for another great season on the trail.

Old Coach Trail Important Reminders for Spring Use:
Trail Conditions: Be prepared for varying conditions, including mud, ice, and soft ground. Wear appropriate footwear and consider using traction devices if needed.
Protect the Trail: When the ground is too soft, please avoid using the trail to prevent erosion and damage. Your cooperation helps maintain the trail’s integrity for future use.
Respect the Environment: Be mindful of sensitive habitats and wildlife that may be more active during this time. Keep pets on a leash and avoid disturbing natural areas.
