Boogyman happens to be one of the more challenging trails in the Seymour trail network on the North Shore of Vancouver. You find Boogyman by taking Old Buck up from the lower Parking lot that most people shuttle or ride from (at the turn-off to Northlands golf course - see Seymour Bike Network for directions from Vancouver).

Once you ride the access trail ? old Buck ? up from the lower lot, you reach the T intersection at the top of Old Buck (it gets really steep at the top, you'll know you are there because you'll want to vomit on the nearby rocks), then go left up Baden-Powell (a fairly wide jeep trail really) and continue riding until you go past the trail called Pangor (but before Severed Dick). In fact it is just past Pangor, also a fun trail.

See our GPS track and 3D map to be exact. If you own an inexpensive hand-held GPS unit, you can locate the trailhead easily, otherwise it is easy to get confused between the trails that jump off Baden-Powell. The area is very popular however, and chances are you'll bump into someone either at a trailhead or in the parking lot below that you can ask. Boogyman is a very enjoyable trail for advanced riders, with some big log rides, big rock faces, and the trail seems longer than some of the others on Seymour, particularly longer than Pangor or Severed. If you shuttle up to the upper Parking lot, cross the road and enter the trails in behind the concrete barrier on the right, you will immediately find ?Corkscrew? on the left, and follow this down to the Baden-Powell trail, turn left and descend Baden_powell until you reach the entrance to Boogyman (really the opposite of coming up from Old Buck and the lower lot). You'll know you are on boogyman when you see the Hamburglur nailed up about mid-way down the trail. If you miss the trail and go down Pangor or Severed Dick, don't worry, these are great trails that dump out below on the Bridle Path, that you can follow left back to the Parking lot.
