Jumpingpound Loop

Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada

A sweet and super-fast singletrack for all levels of rider. This trail has a very moderate gradient with little elevation gain; not very common for Kananaskis Country. It may be ridden clockwise or counterclockwise.

The fast and flowy singletrack can be taken at speed for the more advanced rider, while beginners will appreciate the little elevation gain and the rolling nature of this track. There are a number of river/creek crossings over wooden man-made bridges. Some great views of Jumpingpound Creek can be found on the south side of the track.

    Has anyone been out here to see conditions this year?

      Hey Nick, we’ve not been out that way or have not heard of any new updates. About a week and a half ago the trails in K-Country were covered in new snow. I would think that it will be a while still, even with Jimpingpound Loop. If you happen to venture out to check on the conditions of the trail, don’t forget to post them to the Trail Report Contest page for a chance to win some great swag. http://www.bikepirate.com/trail-contest/ or post your update here. Cheers,

    • Graham
