Malcolm Knapp Research Forest
A. Wetering
Visit the University of BC’s 5000 hectare research forest with 35 km of trails to hike. There are four, colour-coded trails that wind through the research forest. The shortest trail is the Red trail which is 1.4 km and takes approximately 45 minutes to walk. The Green and Yellow trails are 2.4 km and 3.2 km. The Green trail takes 1.2 hours to complete and the Yellow trail takes 1.5 hours. The Blue Trail is the longest trail stretching 6.5 km and taking 3 hours to walk. Each trail has a loop design so they all begin and end near the forest gates.
As the Forest’s primary use is research, the environment must be protected and the wildlife must not be disturbed. To ensure this, no bikes, dogs, or horses are permitted on the trails; however, anyone interested in exploring this spectacular forest on foot is welcome.
