Angus Creek Loop Trail is located nearest the community of
Sechelt,
BC on the lower section of the Sunshine Coast. The challenging
Angus Creek Loop Trail covers over 22 km (13.2
mi.) and should take an experienced rider 1.5 - 2.5 hours to complete
when starting from the Sechelt-Crucil Forest Service Road. The
rewards of this mountain biking route includes some fantastic
views of Sechelt Inlet, Mt. Richardson, the Caren Range Plateau
and of the town of Sechelt, on the Sunshine
Coast, BC, Canada.
The Angus Creek Bike Loop Trail is identified
by the mountain bike signs and the orange paint rings. The biking
route starts off with a steep climb for 4 km (2.4 mi.) following
Irgens Creek along the Sechelt-Crucil Forest Service Road past
a landfill and then continuing to the major junction on the road.
Take a left turn and continue biking on the leveling trail for
7.5 km (4.5 mi.) crossing over Burnett and Angus Creek.
On the descent down to the Gray Creek crossing follow the main
line back to the highway.
The biking trail is more of a hiking trail with some interpretive
signs when starting from the beach area trailhead of the Angus
Creek Trail located in Porpoise Bay Park. The walking
trail is well maintained with bridges and some interpretive signs
discussing salmon spawning. The trail does intersect the bike
loop trail and becomes less maintained following a deactivated
logging road leading to magnificent views.
Access to Angus Creek: Follow Hwy 101 to Sechelt,
BC and at the traffic light on Wharf Street take a right.
A couple blocks further take another right on to Porpoise Bay
Road which becomes Sechelt Inlet Road. Continue for 4 km (2.5
mi.) to Porpoise Bay
Park. Park your vehicle here at Porpoise Bay Park and unload.
Now bike 3 km (1.8 mi.) back the way you came until the Sechelt-Crucil
Service Road. Now you begin mountain biking.
Or walk to the end of the picnic area by the beach to the Angus
Creek Trailhead sign.
