The mayor of Lake Country says they’ve done everything they can to deter people from using the old rail corridor and is urging people to avoid the area, after a second dirt biker was injured using the closed trail.
Mayor James Baker says the corridor is still a CN industrial workplace, as the railway company continues to tear up the old railroad tracks and remediate the area.
“Motorized vehicles are definitely prohibited,” he says. “Cyclists and pedestrians can sometimes use it at their own risk, but if CN comes along with their big machines, they have to watch out.”
Baker says there are signs and concrete barriers at all the road access points into the railway corridor, but some have ignored the warnings.
“We’ve been told some have been riding at night without lights, so they’re extremely at risk of injuring themselves,” Baker said. “We’re not liable, it’s not our trail. I mean we own the property but it’s a CN worksite.”
Baker says the district can’t have people monitoring the area to deter users.
“Our staff can’t even go on, WorkSafeBC wouldn’t cover them because they're not part of the worksite,” Baker said. “There’s not much more we can do than tell people to obey the signs and they won't get hurt.”

A dirt bike rider was injured along the old CN railway corridor in Lake Country last week, the second one this month.
Lake Country RCMP responded to the crash on June 15 after the rider had hit some debris.
The RCMP is currently investigating the crash, looking at a “possible line to a separate reported incident on June 3 in the same general area,” according to Const. Jesse O’Donaghey of the Kelowna RCMP.
He says there may be a contributing factor in both incidents that connect the two crashes.
“We are investigating to ensure there was no criminal element,” O’Donaghey said.
The old CN railway was purchased by Lake Country, Kelowna, Coldstream, and the Regional District of North Okanagan at the end of 2014 to create a bicycle and hiking trail.
The corridor is currently closed to the public, including those on dirt bike and ATVs, while the trail is developed.
