The Nelson area offers outstanding mountain biking terrain.  Rising from the shores of Kootenay Lake's west arm, the area's steep mountains are a source of inspiration for the hardcore mountain biker.  

The single tracks that have been developed are the real deal.  Although, whether an old forestry road, pack trail or rail grade, you are sure to view some of the most exhilarating geography.

Some excellent hiking opportunities include Monica Meadows near Argenta, and the Harrop-Proctor trail network. The recently abandoned Burlington Northern right-of-way provides access to a wide variety of forested mountain bike trails ranging from double black diamond to easy.
