After driving upCrystal Mountain road towards the ski area just past Westbank. At fork go right Jackpine Lake Road look for the 3km marker. The trail is about 500m further on the right. You’ll know this is the one if you hit an 8 foot drop after 100m(there are alternate routes around everything). This has some drops, log rides, launches, uphills and a whole lot of downhills. You end up in a cul de sac that can be ridden downhill to the highway turnoff you took on the way up.

Comment this was possibly my favorite trail in the okanagan so far. long ride down, with tons of stuff to challenge or kill you. b lines around all the really crazy stuff. there are a few trails in this area. the gps shown here is what i think is called 2.5 because it starts 2.5 km up the logging road.

By Posted By: Tmac8 - Sun Aug 19 16:33:57 EDT 2007 Upside Great ride, they are keeping the trails in good condition. Some of the views are amazing Downside Ruts, some of the downhills have huge ruts in them again. Comment Definitely something I am going to be bring a few friends to now. Great ride no matter what trail you end up on.

By Posted By: zacjob - Mon Jul 31 16:47:27 EDT 2006 Upside flowy, cool stunts, great downhill, shuttle to trail head, well maintained Downside bit dusty? Comment There is 5 trails. I rode one twice. It is better than Dirt Merchant to lower A-line. Stunts are challenging but doable, and all smooth.

By Posted By: c_mclean - Sat Aug 07 21:28:18 EDT 2004 Upside In west bank, many skinny, roller coasters, teetors, etc. Downside climbing Comment Lots of fun. Landing on the road gap after the roller coaster is short and not very steep. Steep sections are getting eroded.

By Posted By: Mclean_J - Tue Aug 03 18:56:44 EDT 2004 Not Rated Downside Stupid stupid ruts on this neverending hill at the end ruined my day.

By Posted By: Mclean_J - Tue Aug 03 18:53:26 EDT 2004 Upside Lots of flow sections, Trail is full of stunts, New 7 foot road gap is good and rollor coaster part b4 it rocks. triple teeter all atached thingy. Downside Just after all the stunts at the beginning you have to go up hill same with the end. some of the stunts are old and could use a facelift. Comment Overall i'm not much for the up hill stuff which is about close to a KM when your done.But lots of flow on some of the skinnies.

By Posted By: bmccluskie - Tue Jun 29 15:35:13 EDT 2004 Upside Excelent trail great lots of stunts. Downside some slopes are eroded and loose gravel. Comment powers creek is the so great because its in WESTBANK not kelowna and its got alot of stunts and ALOT of new construction if you want t0 see more stuff built up then plz donate any old 3" 6" or 8" spiral nails to outbound cycle in westbank.

By Posted By: bmccluskie - Mon May 31 12:46:35 EDT 2004 Upside fun lots of Brigdes Downside lots of loose rocks on the steep parts

By Posted By: sunny - Thu May 27 11:13:55 EDT 2004 Upside -easy access, close to reapairs! (OUTBOUND Cycle in Westbank- great guys!) short enough to do in an am/pm. even with a shuttle. A good DH 'learners' Trail- lots of easy outs, good fall lines, large and small / cool stunts, root and rock practice.
We ride up from Webber Rd. and Jack Pine Lk. turnoff for a bit of aerobic action- It's OK! Downside - this trail is starting to be used by more 'people', more erosion/ ruts, beer cans& garbage! YIKES whose kidz are those? Comment I love this trail. I ride this trail a couple times a week, rain or shine. Can be done in an 45- 60 min. It is NOT for beginners.

By Posted By: Ronin_4_ - Wed May 26 22:35:03 EDT 2004 Upside Great Trail and Easy Access to anyone in the area. Downside Like already mentioned. Brake Dragging posers (little kids in elementary school with rich parents) Comment Great area. Can be riden by pro's and begginers alike. althought i'm posting a sign. NO BRAKE DRAGGERS...

By Posted By: oryx_rider - Mon Jan 19 19:59:51 EST 2004 Not Rated Comment What do u do when u get to a sort of open part of the trail? it is like a field sorta on a bit of a slant? Please help

By Posted By: jaytosek - Tue Jul 02 19:02:29 EDT 2002 Upside good solid stunts, nice views Downside steep parts getting heavily eroded Comment Overall a very fun trail. The stunts and log rides are well built. Some steep sections are getting eroded by brake draggers.
