Using this site...

Information to each of the "Sub-divisions" of the Kettle Valley railway in sections on the righthand column of this page.

This map represents the sections of KVR that I have travelled. As more is covered, more will be added to the map.
ALL images in this blog are copyrighted and belong to ME unless otherwise noted.




On this map...
RED = Portion of trail that has been cycled.
BLUE = Trail that has been ridden.





MAJOR UPDATE...Winter 2021/Spring 2022

In November of 2021, BC experienced a series of "atmospheric rivers" that moved through the Province, causing the equivalent of month's-worth of rain being delivered in only a few days, resulting in major flooding in most parts of Southern BC. 
Highways were devastated...homes destroyed, and through all of this, our little jewel that is the KVR rail trail also suffered extensive damage.
As I learn more about each subdivision, I will post the information in the relevant section(s).

My KVR Adventures

It seems that each week, I am offering some kind of advice or intel about the Kettle Valley Railroad,  to other riders...whether it's a question of accessibility, trail conditions or what have you.
After repeating myself countless times, I've decided to put all of this information in ONE location, so that I can simply refer to it, as required.
Please note that although I try to be as current as possible, there may be instances where the data presented herein is not accurate or up to date; I make no guarantees and you use this information at your own risk.
All photos in this blog were taken by me, unless otherwise noted.


I am unsure of the exact date that I created this blog, but as of September 6, 2024 we have COMPLETED the entire usable section of KVR.
Most of it was ridden (by motorcycle)...several parts were done on bicycle (Skaha Lake, Myra, Trout Creek, etc) and even one section was walked (Ladner tunnel and trestle).
It has been an awesome experience and I am so glad that I was able to complete the Princeton and Coquihalla sections before the floods of 2021 destroyed large sections of them. It breaks my heart to think that I may NEVER get to repeat those portions in my lifetime, but I hope that these sections are rebuilt for future generations to enjoy.
