North Star Trail

The trail is an old logging road once the only roadway to the beaches. Today, you can explore the trail in summer by truck, horseback, mountain bike, or ATV. Logging and gravel trucks still use part of the trail near the northern end. The south trailhead is at Hwy 304 at Stead Road. The north trailhead is at Hw 59. The trail is mostly sandy with some mud & ruts and passes through the Belair Provincial Fo est. There is one water crossing over Jackfish Creek;water levels fluctuate seasonally, depending on recent rainfall and whether a beaver dam exists on either side of the cross. Many ATVs and tight spur trails lead off from the main trail, except for pin strips when leaving the central tunnel. the road is generally two vehicles wide. The steepest incline is +/- deg. This is part of the groomed SnoMan trail system in the winter. Vehicles/ATVs should avoid this trail during the winter as it can damage the snowmobile trails and pose a hazard to snowmobilers.
