About This Trail

PT Cruiser is a short, moderately challenging 0.9-mile (1.4 km) trail located at the Kager Lake Recreation Site within the Boer Mountain trail network near Burns Lake.

This fun, natural-surface singletrack trail serves as a connector within the broader Boer Mountain trail system, linking routes in the lower Kager Lake area. It is popular with both mountain bikers and hikers exploring the network and provides an enjoyable way to connect with other trails in the area.


PT Cruiser is part of the Boer Mountain and Kager Lake Recreation Site, one of British Columbia's most family-friendly and progressive mountain biking destinations. The extensive trail network features routes developed by renowned trail designers and builders, including Whistler Gravity Logic, Jay Hoots, IMBA Canada, and local trail builders.

The Burns Lake trail network was also the first mountain bike park developed under British Columbia's Mountain Biking on Crown Land Strategy, helping establish the region as a premier destination for mountain biking and outdoor recreation.


PT Cruiser is located on the traditional territory of the Lake Babine Nation and Ts'il Kaz Koh.
