PRINCE GEORGE -Tabor Mountain, with its 250 km of multi-use trails, is now a formally established recreation trail system, announced Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Pat Bell on behalf of Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson at the ATV-BC Jamboree on Tabor Mountain.
Tabor Mountain has been used year-round by recreation enthusiasts for more than 50 years. Residents and visitors can enjoy activities such as Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, horseback riding, ATV riding, mountain biking and hiking on the extensive trails. Establishing Tabor Mountain as a provincial recreation trail system will ensure it is preserved for future generations to enjoy.
