Bullmoose Airstrip & Surrounding Area

Bullmoose is a perfect area for ATVing or Sledding for people of all ages! Not only is it close to town (30kms North of Tumbler), but the old abandoned airstrip, just a few kilometers down Bullmoose road, is approximately 1 mile long and 200 yards wide, therefore it can accommodate quite a few campers, trailers or toy haulers. If you travel a little further down Bullmoose road, you can enjoy a ride, or hike, to many of the surrounding areas. This is just a few of the many places around Tumbler to explore, so get out there, have fun and be safe!
