The One Spot Trail is located primarily along the former railway grade of the Comox Logging & Railway Company. The trail is named after the first locomotive to work on the grade, the “One Spot”. It was a wood-burning Baldwin engine, built in 1909. The One Spot engine operated in this area for 34 years before it was scrapped in 1943. The track was removed in 1954 after the main logging operations at Headquarters were shut down.
With much help from the Comox Valley Land Trust, the Back Country Horsemen of BC and the Comox Valley Naturalists, the Comox Valley Regional District officially opened the One Spot Trail in the fall of 2004.
This section of the One Spot Trail you will find about 10 Km up Macaulay Road. It is a wooded, straight, well-groomed trail about 3 km in length and is a return path. It is lightly used and has a very quiet, rural atmosphere.
