Roberts Creek Bike Loop Trail is
located in the Roberts Creek, BC area on the
lower Sunshine Coast north of Gibsons
B.C., south of Sechelt,
British Columbia, Canada. The bike route is an advanced mountain
bike adventure that covers 30 km (18 mi.) with some steep climbs,
forest trails, logging roads and... much... downhill speed. The
total Roberts Creek Bike Loop Trail should take
about 2-3 hours to complete. That is taking into considering that
there are no breaks taken to relax and take in some nature with
views of the Tetrahedron
Mountain Range & Georgia Strait.
The Roberts Creek Bike Loop Trail route experiences
an 800 m (ft.) elevation gain. The route is identified by white
biking signs and double rings of orange paint. Follow the main
Roberts Creek Forestry Service Road for 4.5 km (2.7 mi.) past
first junction (stay left, if so desired for 1 km to a viewpoint
and then double back). Continue the adventure for another 4 km
(2.4 mi.) and turn left at the junction. A right takes you on
the Dakota Creek Loop Trail. Stay left for another 13 km (8 mi.)
until Field Road and then take a left back to the Roberts Creek
Forestry Service Road.
The Roberts Creek Bike Loop Trail crosses over
Clack Creek, Gough Creek, Flume
Creek and Wilson Creek. Plan the route accordingly as many of
the off shoot trail routes will connect you to other bike routes
leading you far away from your vehicle. This Roberts Creek
Bike Loop Trail connects you to the Mount
Elphinstone, Dakota Creek and the Brodie
Trail loops.
Access to Roberts Creek Bike Loop Trail: Follow
Hwy 101 north from Gibsons,

Gilker Park you have driven 500 m (1640 ft.) too far. Go back
and find the Roberts Creek Forestry Service Road. Travel the road
for 1 km (0.6 mi.) to the powerlines and then park and go. |
