Table of contents

The Boivin Creek Trail is an 5.3mi out-and-back hiking route in Elkford that follows a cross-country skiing route through the woods to explore the natural beauty to the west of the town. The route is made up largely of old logging roads, making it an accessible route that is easy to navigate. If you are looking for a longer journey, try exploring some of the different trails that branch off from the main route.

Route Description for Boivin Creek Trail

Hiking along the Boivin Creek Trail is a great way to experience the skiing trails around Elkford, even when there isn’t any snow on the ground. The trail sets out from the Elkford Nordic Ski Clubs and heads southwest through the dense forests that populate the area around the creek. Along the route, you will make use of several bridge crossings and old, well-worn roads that make traversing the terrain a breeze. Eventually, you will reach the Boivin Hut, a warming cabin used by skiers in the winters. Take the path to the left here and follow it towards the rugged Profile Mountain. When you break out of the forest, turn back and make your way to the trailhead where you began your journey.

Getting to the Boivin Creek Trail Trailhead

To get to the Boivin Creek trailhead from the District of Elkford Municipal Office, drive west on Natal Road for 0.7mi to find the trailhead on the left.
