Bunster Hills Biking, Hiking & Off Roading Trail, is located near Lund BC on the top portion of the Sunshine Coast. This is a great work-out for bikers, off roaders and hikers offering ocean views of Okeover Inlet, Malaspina Peninsula and the Georgia Strait. The off roading trail system reaches an elevation of over 750 m (2400 ft.) and on a mountain bike it takes anywhere from 4-6 hours. By 4X4, ATV or Motor Bike it takes 1-2 hours with some breaks.

On foot you can combine the trail with the Rieveley's Pond Trail which is a connector trail on this adventure that cuts the trail in half crossing right down the centre of the loop trail makig the adventure more hiker friendly in distance and time spent. And the trail takes you off the gravel roads and into the forests. Also on the north-west portion off the Bunster Hills Trail is the Okeover Hiking Trail. Bunster Hills also intersects with the Sunshine Coast Trail (SCT).
