CAUTION: SOME OF THE AREAS DESCRIBED ON THIS WEBSITE ARE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS
The area around Springer Creek is a place of outstanding beauty and spirituality.
But in the steep areas east of the highway, it is also a place of rugged, hazardous terrain. The walls of the Springer Creek Canyon feature sheer drops of 30m or more, and there is currently no protective infrastructure such as barriers or warning signage. All users are encouraged to exercise extreme caution. Pets and small children are not recommended in the more rugged areas.
With a donation from the Columbia Basin Watershed Network, SCRAPA has recently mapped the recreation trails of the Springer Creek area in collaboration with Selkirk College Geospatial Research Centre.
Trails west of the highway are easy and well-maintained, and there are two bridges across the Creek.
Trails on the east side are often steep and may be blocked by fallen trees. Watch for loose rocks and earth, tree roots and other natural obstacles.
For your safety, please stay on trails. Hiking off designated trails, particularly along the edge of the Creek could result in injury. We recommend that cyclists wear helmets, other protective gear, and ride slowly with care.
