Every Other Monday Rubberhead Voly Nights are on a temporary hold. However plans are in the works for some more opportunities on the weekends. So thanks to all who have come out this summer and stay tuned.
Exciting things happening at the Rubberhead this summer! The Shuswap Cycling Club and our good friends at Rec Sites and Trails BC have finalized a partnership agreement.
This means good things for our trails! The SCC will be able to be more proactive about building and maintaining trails in Rubberhead. Stay tuned for updates on trail work, but in the meantime if you want to be involved, come out to the Every Other Monday Rubberhead Trail Nights.
We have also been treated to a facelift of the main trailhead on the 110 FSR, including an upgraded parking area, sign, sweet map, and washroom.
Looking forward to more great improvements on Rubberhead in the coming months and years!
Starting June 27, Canoe Forest Products will be conducting harvesting operations at the top of the Sicamous Switch Backs on the Larch Hills Traverse from Mon – Fri from 4am to 5pm daily.
Canoe Forest Products is working with The Shuswap Trail Alliance to ensure that this closure is as short as possible and has minimal effect on the trail network.
The Sicamous Switch Backs will be open out side of operational hours.
There will be no exit to Sicamous during operational hours.
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District will receive $784,077 for construction of a new parallel bike path along Salmon River Rd.
The initiative is funded through a Provincial program called BikeBC. The path will not extend the entirety of the road, but is nonetheless a welcome addition for roadies and all cyclists in the area. Salmon River Rd is a beautiful place to ride bikes but is twisty, busy and the pavement can be a bit crusty.

The Shuswap Cycling Club is once again excited to host a Foundation Trails Workshop June 16th and 17th at the Rubberhead trail network. The workshop is sponsored by Rec Sites and Trails BC and with support from the Shuswap Trail Alliance.
Sign up by contacting us at [email protected] or completing the form below – Hurry there is only space for 20 participants!
The course will be taught by Mark Woods, an experienced trail designer and instructor from Trail Holistics. It will be a mix of classroom and practical instruction, and will cover the principles and culture in trail building, sustainability, assessment, planning, and construction.
Canoe Forest Products has completed site prep work around the roads and landings that access Muffin Top, Veggie and Meat Grinder trails on Rubberhead.
Harvesting is occurring adjacent to the uppermost road access to the start of Muffin Top. Log hauling down the 110.000 road from this location will occur Mon – Fri, 4am to 5pm daily for the next several weeks.
There are no trail closures associated with this harvesting, however individuals utilizing the 110.000 road for access to the trails must be aware of the increased logging truck traffic and yield the right of way to these vehicles when encountered.
The SCC with cooperation from the Shuswap Trail Alliance and CSRD have produced some printed maps showing the trails and suggested rides for South Canoe and Rubberhead.
Cost is only $5 or by donation, available at Skookum.
