About This Trail

Charlotte's Web Loop is an easy-to-moderate 2.7-mile (4.3km) loop rated a perfect 5.0 stars in the Boer Mountain Recreation Site. Charlotte's Web is one of the network's beloved blue runs — a flowing descent from the upper mountain featuring fun switchbacks at the top that opens up into faster flowing terrain below. The trail name fits the network's pig theme (Boer = Boar): Pork and Beans, Smells Like Bacon, Pigasus, and When Pigs Fly are nearby companions. Riders frequently combine Charlotte's Web with Waterlew (featuring 800m of boardwalk), Firecrew, and When Pigs Fly for a classic top-to-bottom run ending at the Pierce Hofer Memorial wall ride by the Kager Lake parking lot. Suitable for mountain biking, hiking, and snowshoeing. Located on the traditional territory of the Lake Babine Nation and Ts'il Kaz Koh.

Getting There

Directions

From Highway 16 in Burns Lake, take 5th Avenue north to Gowan Road, continue to Boer Mountain Lookout Road, turn left, and follow past the Bike Park to the Kager Lake Recreation Site parking lot (10–15 minutes from town). The top of Charlotte's Web is reached via the Razorback uptrack, or via the seasonal upper Boer Mountain Road to the summit parking area.

Parking

Free parking at the Kager Lake Recreation Site gravel lot, with free camping (car sites, walk-in tent sites, outhouses, fire rings, canoe launch). A seasonal upper parking area near the summit shortens access to the top of the descents — check rideburns.ca for opening status. All services in Burns Lake.

Safety & Preparation

Check trailforks.com for current trail status — some Boer Mountain trails remain closed for post-wildfire danger tree assessments. The upper switchbacks are tight — newer riders should control speed and be comfortable with tight cornering. Helmet required; protective gear recommended. The trail is directional for descending riders — hikers should avoid walking up the descent and stay alert. Do not ride in wet conditions. Bears are present in the area — carry bear spray.
