Manning Park Hikes

Kamloops Trails Posted on by

We have been visiting Manning Park for a few decades and have enjoyed the trails and routes in all 4 seasons.   It is a large park with a number of recreational opportunities.   With the invasion of pine beetle and budworm, the forest has changed, but it is still a great destination for outdoors people, especially for hiking, running, and cross-country skiing.    There are a lot of trails and routes and over the years we have done almost all of them and some many times.   Subsequent posts will feature the recommended routes:

  • Lakes Chain Trails
  • Skyline Trail
  • Heather Trail
  • Hope Pass Trail
  • Windy Joe
  • Mount Frosty
  • Monument 83
  • XC trails
  • Monument 78
  • Strawberry Flats routes

About KamloopsTrails

I started exploring this area in 1976 and I continue to follow tracks and routes wherever they lead, with the aid of map, compass, GPSr and camera. After many dead-ends, but also many discoveries, I chose to share this information. Getting out 12 months each year, I continue to explore trails, tracks, routes, and waterways of the Kamloops area and beyond.

  1. Re windy Joe trail,my wife and I lived in manning from 1972 to 1983 at east gate in manning park,I worked for b.c parks, we were fortunate to become close friends with Joe and Jess Hilton during our stay,Joe exposed me to many wonderous and unique aspects of manning,small interesting wonders,plant life,animals, fishing lightning lakes in the cold of winter and many more,locations of some of his trapper cabins,the roach,three forks and pasayten valley,animal habits and conservation,he was a trapper with respect for the animals
    his son in law said it best,Joe was a farmer,when it came to trapping,leaving things be when need be,it was his life style and in his his blood to trap,he was a very kind man and trapping was more of a life style than a career, I have now moved and sadly the draw of manning has left me,just like this website,the emphasis of manning now seems to be on tourism and filling the local facilities.
