Trailforks
Another useful tool is the Trailforks app. This free app shows all the trails in the Kimberley area and uses your phone’s GPS to show you where you are on the trails. Detailed suggestions for how to use Trailforks are found below the Trailforks logo.
Trailforks can help park users navigate through the area, access information about recommended hikes and rides, and learn about (and report on) trail conditions.
Download the app here:

Using Trailforks
Computer use, online: Go to this page to see the Kimberley Nature Park area within Trailforks.
You will note that the boundaries of the Kimberley Nature Park are not marked, but those for Horse Barn Valley Interpretive Forest are, in the initial TF (Trailforks view). The views available are listed in the top right corner of the map, and we suggest using TF or satellite. A wealth of information is available using this site (trail layout, ratings for riding, topographical information and specific trail data) and we will leave it to you to experiment. The suggestions for summer hikes and rides are found under the Summer Use section of this web site.
Phone App: Trailforks is a free app available for Android and iPhones. Once it is on your phone, you will need to download the Kimberley Region information. If you are concerned about data quantities, this can be done using a wi-fi signal. The area, once loaded, is held on your phone and, in the field, no data need be used.
Click on the magnifying glass / search icon
1. Type in “Kimberley, BC” and enter
2. Select the red-and-white mountain icon with “Kimberley, British Columbia XX trails” beside it.
3. Select “Download Kimberley.” The Kimberley Region will now be stored in your phone and downloading of data in the field will not be required again.
