Web ATV Club.jpg

There are lots of opportunities to enjoy ATVing in the Tulameen and Similkameen Valleys.  From casual riding with your family, to touring with the local ATV Club, you are always welcome.  There are hundreds of miles of trails that you can access right from Coalmont, either by travelling along the Kettle Valley Railway corridor or on the South side of the Tulameen River.  Whether you enjoy putting slowly along a Forest Service Road, or challenging trails like the legendary Whipsaw, everything is right here.


Similkameen Valley Riders ATV Club
 
 
The Similkameen Valley Riders ATV Club is a group of about 50 local enthusiasts who meet on a regular basis to share their love of the sport and the great outdoors.  They meet on the third Saturday of each month at 3:00 PM at the Princeton Chamber of Commerce and have organized rides a couple of times a month during riding season.  They are affiliated with ATV/BC.  Non-members wishing to attend a Club ride will have to sign a waiver.
