Eagle uses a Bluetooth lock that's managed by the City of Coquitlam. They're not currently giving out new keys, but that may change in the next few months. It is not limited to 4WDABC members. More details are available at www.4wdabc.ca/articles/eagle-mou...
The Norrish gate is managed by the City of Abbotsford, and they've provided us a code for use by Association members. More details on that are at www.4wdabc.ca/articles/norrish-c...1 year ago -
Michelle LeBel Oh that’s too bad, we were hoping to ride at 256th in maple ridge. Is Hawkins pickle road part of the Norrish Creek gate access?1 year ago

Matt Ion Hawkins Pickle turns into Bell Rd. which turns into Norrish Creek FSR. The gate on Norrish is at about the 6km mark of the gravel.

If memory serves (it doesn't always), the top of 256 leads into the Blue Mountain bike trails; you can ride there but not drive past the gate.

Michelle LeBel Sorry, I’m new to these areas so I’m sorry for all the questions. Are there other gates to access in the Norrish Creek? Also is there anything in Boston Bar, Kelowna, Merrit and such?1 year ago

Matt Ion No other gates up Norrish that really matter. Not many gates at all on the BC mainland, and most of those you do find are there for good reason, such as private land, livestock containment, or... see more No other gates up Norrish that really matter.

The key program is currently managed by the City of Coquitlam, and two years ago the Ministry directed them to not issue new keys, but only renew existing keys.
We hope the situation will change soon, but for the moment that's where things are.

Matt Ion I add details when I can; however, it's easier to just have to update the specifics in one place, especially with something that doesn't have any specifics at the time the event listing is created... see more I add details when I can; however, it's easier to just have to update the specifics in one place, especially with something that doesn't have any specifics at the time the event listing is created (I assume you're referring here to the Jones Lake cleanup, as that's the only one posted right now that links to the FB event).
In any case, the Facebook events are public, so you don't need to login to Facebook or even have an account to see the details. Just click the link and you'll see it all.

Harold Ptachyk posted a discussion in Website SupportJust re-entered the off road world after a long hiatus. I use to off road all over the south coast area and use to use the Four Wheeler's Companion. I suspect the trails have changed in the past 20 years but would like to get back out there. Where can I find trail maps?

Richard James Hi there,
Many use the Backroad Maps, both paper and digital editions. The digital versions can seem expensive, however I find that they are fantastic to have with me to supplement the paper... see more Hi there,

I believe that there are some other map software available for smart phones and tablets, such as Canada Topo Maps app. I haven't used this one myself, so I don't know if there are any trails on the maps.

apps.apple.com/ca/app/topo-maps-...
Another app is Alltrails, which covers hiking, walking, off road, cycling, etc. I have used this for hiking trails, but not off roading. From what I have used it for, it is pretty good.

I am sure that there are other maps out there, maybe other members could share them for you.

Richard James I think that you might find some help as well on the 4WDABC Facebook page, or on Reddit where people post up trails that they know about.
