Nickelmine has been an established riding area for over 30 years, many groups have been invested in the areas over the years and put hard work into trail building and maintenance. FVDRA in partnership with Barrick mines established a campground area on the tailings pond with a vast network of trails around. The tailings pond has recently been closed due to tailings pond repair activity and the campground moved the campground to the Pit Pass area.

In the past year we have begun work to have the Nickelmine trails recognized under a section 56. As users of the area, we must respect the rights of first nations, logging activities, and mine work. We are committed to good trail stewardship and keeping the Nickelmine area open to dirt rider families.

FVDRA acknowledges and respects the rights of Yale First Nations as the Nickelmine off-road riding area is located in the heart of their ancestral lands. Yale First Nation must be consulted regarding any land or resource actions and decisions in this area.

Directions: 13 kms north of Hope on Hwy #1, turn left on Nickelmine Road and follow the FVDRA signs to camp. The network of trails can be accessed from camp and there are plenty of beginner, intermediate and advanced trails to challenge every skill.
