The Friendship Trail is a multi-use trail about 7 kilometres long that connects Mount Currie and the Village of Pemberton. It provides people with a safer, more enjoyable way to travel between the two communities by bike, horseback, or on foot—without using the highway.
The Friendship Trail also provides a critical link in the larger Sea to Sky Trail project, a trail network undertaken by the SLRD, which, when complete, will be a 180 km multi-use recreation trail linking the Pacific Ocean south of Squamish with the community of D’Arcy on the southern shore of Anderson Lake.

The inspiration for the Friendship Trail
The project was initially conceived by the Winds of Change, a collaborative public policy initiative of the Lil’wat Nation, Squamish-Lillooet Regional District and the Village of Pemberton. The Winds of Change identified the need for a safe, non-motorized, pedestrian-friendly travel route to encourage commuting by bike and on foot as a priority recommendation in its “Healing Vision” report.
