Parking: Saltair

Access: Ronadlyn

Alternate: Haslam Bypass (Bicycle Route) 4k
The Cassidy Gas Pipeline Route (as of yet unnamed, wll run roughly along the Terasen Gas Pipeline) is a route under development by the Regional District of Nanaimo. At the boundary with the Cowichan Valley Trail, there will be a parking lot and trail head. The route is currently a challenging bike route, but can easily be walked - though there are some hills.

TCT Cycling Bypass: Ladysmith Waterfront (0.8 km)
This route is recommended for touring cyclists as it avoids a set of stairs on the main TCT route. Mountain bikers (or those not carrying panniers, etc) can potentially handle the main route, or at least carry their bike up/down the stairs.

TCT Hiking: Haslam Trail (3k there and back)
This segment of trail can be bicycled but the route becomes progressively rougher and more challenging as one heads from south to north. Haslam Suspension Bridge is a must-see feature but the entrance is quite narrow for bicyclists.

TCT Hiking: Ladysmith Waterfront (0.8 km)
This scenic piece of trail is suitable for hikers only due to a set of stairs at the halfway point - just above the marina. Mountain bikers heading north may be fine - either scooting down the rough trail beside the stairs, or climbing up the alternate trail to the left that leads to the road. Southbound cyclists will have a tough push up the rough trail beside the stairs. We have provided a cyclist-friendly alternate route.

TCT Multi-Use: Chemainus to Ladysmith (12.3 km)
Elm Street in Chemainus north to Cook Street: The Trans Canada Trail follows the E&N railway "Ral with Trail" through the quaint community of Chemainus. Be sure to check out the famous murals!
Cook Street to Stocking Creek: The TCT follows the main roadway (Highway 1A) north for 3.6 km to Stocking Creek (200 metres north of Saltair Road), where the trail route turns west along a minor road towards park land.
Stocking Creek to Ladysmith: The trail route follows a wooded trail, crossing the small Stocking Creek, then climbs uphill to meet the E&N Rail with Trail. This short piece of gravel rail trail travels further north to meet Highway 1A once again. After 1.7 km of Highway 1A, the route crosses the Trans Canada Highway and enters the outskirts of Ladysmith.

TCT Multi-Use: Ladysmith to Haslam (9.4 km)
This section of trail incorporates various pieces of urban trail, including some E&N rail trail through the charming town of Ladysmith. From Ladysmith north, the trail becomes a little more challenging and is better suited for walking and hybrid mountain bikes.
