Trails Closed

Locals may find some trails shut down, limited or access monitored during the Festival beginning Wednesday, August 5. We ask for your patience as we work as a community to protect sensitive areas from wayward festival goers looking for free camping, or from additional fire hazards. The intention is to keep out or screen for illegal campers, not to restrict locals from legitimately accessing the areas.

  • Dike by Dog Pound on Government Road closed to vehicular traffic to prevent unauthorized camping along the Mamquam and Squamish Rivers.
  • Dike off Highway 99 leading to Squamish Valley Golf Club and Mamquam River spawning channels closed to prevent unauthorized parking and camping along the Mamquam River.
  • Loggers Creek Trail access points off Finch Drive and Loggers Lane fenced off in an effort to prevent unauthorized camping and dumping of garbage and wildlife attractants.
  • Entrance to Spit and Wildlife Management Area (WMA) gated and attended by festival security personnel in an effort to screen and prevent unauthorized camping within the WMA. 

The Corridor Trail in both directions north and south of the Festival grounds will be main arterial trails for festival goers to travel from the campgrounds to the festival site. These trails will be busy - slow down and embrace the festival vibe! Please be sure to use lights on your bike if riding after dark. If you don't like crowds, maybe give these trails a miss for this weekend.

For now, Discovery Trail remains open, but will be patrolled by security. A closure is still being considered from a fire protection perspective during this extreme fire hazard. Stay tuned for updates.
