We now have several signed contracts with private landowners for the use of trails on their property. Some of these are in development. The following trail can be used now.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Cupples Trail<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the generosity of Claire and Will Cupples, this small trail network can be accessed from&nbsp;a farm driveway on the south side of North End Road and just east of #2670. There is ample parking on the grassy shoulder near the trail sign, but please park perpendicular to the road to provide room for others to park and do not park here until the land dries as car tires have made a mess of the ground.&nbsp;The 2 km trail loop is well marked on this 38 acre property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This property adjoins the Salt Spring Island Conservancy\u2019s North View Nature Reserve, so in the future it may be possible to connect the two trail systems. The Cupples Trail is also close to the Jack Foster Trail and could be combined with it for a day\u2019s outing in the north end of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"916\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2892-916x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2892-916x1024.jpeg 916w, https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2892-268x300.jpeg 268w, https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2892-768x858.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2892-1374x1536.jpeg 1374w, https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2892-1832x2048.jpeg 1832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 916px) 100vw, 916px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Affiliated Organizations<\/strong><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.saltspringchamber.com\">Chamber of Commerce<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.islandpathways.ca:80\/\">Island Pathways<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocv.ca\/\">Outdoor Club of Victoria<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.saltspringconservancy.ca\/\">Salt Spring Island Conservancy<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crd.bc.ca\/ssiparc\/\">Salt Spring Island Parks and Recreation Commission (PARC)<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buckys-sports.com\/sportscontacts\/cowichan_hikers\/index.htm\">The Cowichan Outdoor Group (Duncan)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BC Nature<\/strong><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcnature.ca.\">BC Nature <\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/arrowsmithnats.org\/\">Arrowsmith Naturalists <\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/comoxvalleynaturalist.bc.ca\/\">Comox Valley Nature <\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/naturecowichan.net\/\">Nature Cowichan <\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanoosenaturalists.org\/\">Nanoose Naturalists <\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/pendernaturalists.ca\/\">Pender Island Field Naturalists <\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/rithetsbog.org\/\">Rithet&#8217;s Bog Conservation Society<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/rpbo.org\/\">Rocky Point Bird Observatory<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vicnhs.bc.ca\/website\/\">Victoria Natural History Society<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other<\/strong><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.em.gov.bc.ca\/Mining\/Geoscience\/PublicationsCatalogue\/OpenFiles\/2009\/Pages\/2009-11.aspx\">The Surficial Geology of Salt Spring Island (3 links: the map, descriptive notes and downloadable map.)<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapofsaltspring.com\/\">General information of Salt Spring Island<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maps of Beach Accesses on SSI<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/saltspringmarket.com\/salt-spring-island-beaches-lakes\/\">Salt Spring Market<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bguiled.com\/saltspringgreenwise\/beach-accesses.pdf\">Salt Spring Greenwise<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.islandstrust.bc.ca\/media\/205787\/11.10.25%20IT%20Saltspring%20shoreline%20mapping.pdf\">Islands Trust<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SSI Conservancy Nature ReservesAlvin IndridsonAndreas VogtBlackburn ReserveHoward Horel Nature ReserveRobert and Shauna Makaroff Nature ReserveManzanita RidgeNorth ViewMt Erskine Provincial Parks Burgoyne Bay Provincial ParkMount Maxwell Provincial ParkRuckle Provincial ParkMt Erskine Provincial Park CRD Parks and RecreationFind CRD PARC trails on SSI by restricting the Region to Salt Spring IslandSSI PARC Strategic Plan 2019 First NationsTsawout [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22"}],"version-history":[{"count":46,"href":"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5082,"href":"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22\/revisions\/5082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saltspringtnc.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
