Reports describe the cited dates. An expected reopening date does not establish reopened access.

A summer forest circuit on named Nordic trails, starting at the upper parking entrance and returning on the same short access connector.

1. Getting there and parking

Use the club facility at 8141 Otway Road and follow signs to the upper parking area. The mapped walk begins at the upper-parking trail entrance, not at the road-address pin or inside the lodge.

Location: In Prince George.

2. Walking the route

From the upper-parking trail entrance, follow its short connector to the Pine Flats and Greenway junction. Take Greenway Corridor southwest and stay on that named corridor past the Larch Loop junctions. At the western junction, turn north onto Pine Flats, then follow Pine Flats east to the original junction. Retrace the short connector to upper parking. Use current signs at each intersecting trail; do not divert onto downhill-only bike tracks.

Mapped outing: Upper parking trail entrance. 2.9 km measured along the mapped line; published trip measurements may differ.

Elevation along the outing

Full loop

Start: Upper parking trail entrance · Finish: Upper parking trail entrance (2.9 km mapped).

Approximate ground elevation from a 90 m terrain model. Distance follows the mapped itinerary and may differ from published walking distance. This is a terrain-model profile, not a surveyed measurement. Any ascent total is identified separately with its own source or estimation method.

How the route order was checked

The operator's November 2025 Nordic map identifies the upper parking access, Greenway Corridor and Pine Flats; its summer guide permits hiking on the Nordic network. The selected OSM paths have those exact names and two-way direction tags. From the mapped upper-parking connector, the route follows Greenway west, turns north on Pine Flats and returns east to the same access junction. The short parking connector is retraced. All joins and closure are exact source-vertex matches. This is a specifically assembled summer walking circuit, not a claim that the entire Nordic network is one hike or that winter walking on ski tracks is permitted.

5. Camping, facilities and seasons

Season and access

Summer walking only. During the ski season use the separate authorized snowshoe network and pass arrangements. Check scheduled events and on-site signs before entering any paved portion.

Dogs

On this unpaved summer Nordic loop, dogs are permitted under voice command. Keep dogs off the separate paved trails. This permission does not extend to ordinary winter ski or snowshoe tracks.

How the elevation gain was established

Outing: loop outing from Upper parking trail entrance; 2.87 km along the mapped itinerary

Copernicus DEM 2021 GLO-90 via Open-Meteo (90 m resolution). v7-smoothed-ascent-1: interpolate retained terrain samples at 100 m spacing; apply one triangular 1:2:1 smoothing pass over ±100 m; preserve start, finish and documented turnaround heights; sum uphill excursions with a 5 m reversal threshold; round to nearest 10 m.

Approximate terrain-model ascent, not a field or GPS measurement. Coarse cells and smoothing can miss small climbs, switchbacks, structures and sharp terrain. Processing sensitivity is not a statistical confidence interval.

Measurement notes

Distance is calculated from the licensed OSM line including the retraced access connector. No published route-specific gain has been established.
