The Steps Mountain Bike Park
Fun for all ages so parents can join their kids on the trails!
A purpose-built mountain bike park near Barrington Tops
Looking for some outdoor activity off the river? The Steps Mountain Bike Park includes a cross country loop with multiple challenges and a skills area for practicing body position, balance, gearing, braking, cornering and riding obstacles.
The Cross Country Loop is 3.5 kilometres of single track suitable for riders of all skill levels. The loop rewards riders with flowing downhill sections, technical climbs and log bridges set amidst a scenic riverside location on the Barrington River. Additional features of the bike park include a Pump Track for a full-body biking workout plus The Playground, a dedicated mountain biking obstacle course with options to suit specific skill levels of riders.
The mountain biking experience at The Steps offers fun and challenges for all skills levels, so parents can join their kids for a family day on the trails. Mountain bike clubs looking for a new and exciting biking venue will also find The Steps is the perfect place for race days, endurance rides, time trials and social events.
Coming soon are additional bike park sections that include extensions to The Playground for a ‘North Shore’ style park (with narrow raised trails of timber and stone made famous in the mountains on Vancouver’s northern shores), a mini jump park (with table tops and doubles) plus stage 3 of the pump track with even more challenges requiring skill and flair. And for those looking for ‘fast and hard’, the new downhill track will deliver the required adrenalin fix from drops, berms, jumps and two road gaps.
Use of the bike park is free for guests camping at The Steps or staying at Riverview Cottage so remember to bring your mountain bikes!
If you're not staying onsite with us, then the Day Use fee is $5. You'll need to call Barrington Outdoor Adventure Centre (6558 2093) to register before heading out to The Steps.
Bookings are essential. To avoid disappointment please call ahead before visiting The Steps as the campground and bike park are occasionally closed for school groups and private functions.
