Wildlife At Scout Island Nature Centre Request Bicycle Riders Park Their Bikes
Scout Island Nature Centre provides a relatively secluded, natural place for wildlife and plant viewing. It is a special place in the heart of our community where you can hear the “unfurling of leaves in the spring, feel the rustle insect wings, and absorb the cry of the loon.” This is best done by walking the trails of the Nature Centre.
For wildlife to continue to feel “secure” at the nature centre, there are no bikes allowed on Scout Island Trails. The trails were not built to handle bikes. Bikes may disturb the sensitive plants and wildlife that inhabit Scout Island such as foxes, muskrats, wood ducks and our many anthills.
Scout Island Nature Center encourages the public to ride their bikes to the Nature Center or beach, then lock them at the provided bike racks and walk the trails and visit the NatureCenter.
Williams Lake is renowned for its many bike trails for all levels such as the River Valley and Fox Mountain Trails. Please contact the Info Center or Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed at 398-7873 for more information or maps to these trails.
Thank you for your co-operation.
