John Deere
Local favorite on Seymour: fast, rooty, flowy top to bottom. Great for riders stepping up from intermediate.
Trail beta
Park at the Northlands Golf Course lot: turn left off Mount Seymour Rd for 'Northlands,' lot is immediate right (~30 cars + street parking on Ann Macdonald Way). For a quick lap, access at the Good Sir Martin crossing; for the full trail, climb Severed D (Dickie entrance) to the top. Downhill only for bikes, do not pedal up. Fast flowy singletrack with berms, small jumps, and two signature wood features: the Buck Huck ramp and Buck Shot gap jump. Don't ride it wet; often the first Seymour trail to open after rain.
When to go
Rideable much of the year but best May-October on Mount Seymour (BC Parks, NSMBA-maintained). John Deere is a dirt-surfaced trail that NSMBA and local shops recommend avoiding during and after heavy rain. Seymour's higher elevation also means snow cover Dec-March more consistently than Fromme; the park gatehouse is closed May-October for full park access.
Shuttle
Endless Biking runs guided shuttle laps on Seymour. You can also pedal up Good Sir Martin to the top.
