Things to do in Kimberley, Kootenay Rockies: The Best Nature & Parks

Northstar Rails to Trails is a 28 km paved path that links the Cities of Cranbrook and Kimberly. Users can bike, run, walk or rollerblade over this picturesque setting. The trail has numerous access/parking areas. The trail uses the old Northstar branch rail bed. Dry toilets are located at 3 points along the route. Makes for great family outing, small groups or individuals. Depending on your fitness level expect the ride from one city to another to take 1-2 hours, but feel free to travel any portion of the trail. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trail and we ask you to keep dogs under control.
