Moonraker Trails are a network of mountain biking trails and gravel roads located south of the community of Golden, BC in the Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada. The trails are mostly single track routes. The gravel roads are mostly rough and rugged forestry service roads.

The lakes include Little and Big Cedar and Sander Lakes. The creeks in the area include Canyon, Cedar and Tallis Creeks.
