Where The Mountain Biking Is Legendary
Cumberland has become known as the new mecca for mountain biking enthusiasts and has developed a reputation for being a Vancouver Island hotspot for riders. The forested hills outside of Cumberland offer a large variety of singletrack for riders with over 80 km of trails to choose from.
These trails are designed and built by the United Riders of Cumberland, an active mountain bike association with a committed community of riders. There are a variety of trails for everyone, including little rippers. Riders can enjoy these trails twelve months of the year, due to the mild Vancouver Island climate. Cumberland is one of British Columbia’s premier mountain bike destinations.
