Coutlee Mountain Bike Trail Area

The Coutlee Mountain Bike Trail Area is a popular multi-use recreation area located on the Coutlee Plateau, just south of downtown Merritt, British Columbia, near the Nicola River.

The area is managed by the Merritt Mountain Bike Association and features an open, ranch-like setting with a network of single-track trails suited to a range of ability levels.

The plateau hosts 19 trails across varying difficulty levels, drawing mountain bikers, hikers, and trail runners.

A Tower Access Road climbs from the parking area past a small lake and meadows to a rocky ridge topped by radio towers, offering sweeping views over Merritt.

Loop options range from a 4-mile short loop to an 8-mile longer circuit, both generally rated as moderately challenging.
