SEASON TO RIDE: Ride until the snow flies (May-November)

WHAT TO RIDE: Start at Johnny’s Swamp of Doom. If you want more of a challenge, head to Sleepy Hollow and Gilly’s Galactic Speedway. Ortman’s Way is a double track trail that is great for beginners.

The locals say this is the best single track in Bruce County. The soil and gravel trails provide excellent riding conditions that are dry virtually all season long. Designed for mountain biking, this trail system is great for individuals picking up the sport or for the seasoned rider who enjoys some serious speed. A great trail to start on is Johnny’s Swamp of Doom which is located off the parking area. This trail has great flow with elevation changes that are guaranteed to get your heart going. If you feel that this trail is somewhat difficult, stay clear of Sleepy Hollow, My First Time or Gilly’s Galactic Speedway. Ortman’s Way is a double track trail which is suitable for beginners although you are guaranteed one steep climb and one long descent.
