| TRANS CANADA TRAIL VIA NANIMO RIVER ROAD ACCESS | ||
  |
||
| Access to the Trans Canada
Trail via the Nanaimo River Road can be found approximately 8km from the main island highway at the Pipeline Trail access (look for two white gates on either side of the road). Unmarked but for some small signs courtesy TRAILS BC. I drove right pass it the first time and ended up at the Nanaimo Lakes Campgrounds. |

| Heading south you need
to turn off the pipeline trail at the bottom of the hill in order to stay on the Trans Canada Trail to the Nanaimo River. You can ride part of the way but at this time it is mostly nothing more than a rough foot path. The trail North along the the Pipeline Trail leads to the Community of Extension and the Extension Ridge Trail. |

| Trail users of this section of trail
should note that this section of trail is under development and very primary trail markers and trail development are in place. Most of the trail markers I found seem to be courtesy of TRAILS BC Vancouver Island Region Directory |

| Trail south ends at the
Nanaimo River, currently there is no crossing to the other side but a proposed bridge is planned. |
