TRAIL RATINGS FOR MOUNTAIN BIKERS

The following colours provide difficulty ratings for mountain bikers. The difficulty ratings provided are relative to the level of challenge compared to other trails on the same property. Even the “easiest trail” can provide a challenge for many riders. Always ride within your own level of ability and at your own risk.

Easiest - White Trail contains gentle climbs and open turns with a hardened trail surface, such as gravel or stone dust.

Easier - Green Challenging double or single-track trail

containing slight turns and gentle climbs. Unavoidable obstacles such as bridges,

boardwalks, roots, logs and potholes are present on the trail.

Intermediate - Yellow Challenging with steep climbs and tight turns. Narrow trail with unavoidable obstacles such as bridges, boardwalks, roots, logs and potholes.

Difficult - Red Challenging single-track trail with a mixture of steep climbs, sharp turns, loose trail surface and numerous obstacles to avoid or jump over. Bridges, boardwalks, roots, logs, potholes and other unavoidable obstacles are present on the trail.

What to RideFamilies and beginner riders will enjoy the hard-packed aggregate trails such as Rocky Way and Albemarle Pass. If you are looking for more of a challenge hit up Ewok Run, Pine Loop and The Rocky Flats. If you’re up for something more advanced be sure to ride Big Bear, it’s a fast, challenging ride with lots of rock outcrops to navigate. If you’re up for a more serious workout, give Maple Ridge a try.

732 Huron-Bruce Road, South Bruce

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 just picking up the sport or for the seasoned rider who enjoys some serious speed.

Carrick Tract

Season to RideRide until the snow comes.

Trail SurfacePacked mineral soil with coarse aggregate.

What to RideJohnny's Swamp of Doom is accessible from the parking area and is a great trail to begin with. If you feel that this trail is somewhat difficult, stay clear of Sleepy Hollow, My First Time, Tables and Turns or Gilly’s Galactic Speedway. Ortman’s Way is a double track trail that is suitable for beginners although you are guaranteed one steep climb and one long descent. Along the way you can find Short but Sweet and Down and Out, which are similar to Johnny’s Swamp of Doom.

Brant Tract

Carrick Tract

Season to RideThe Brant Tract is a four season destination for the whole family to enjoy, but July, August and September are the best months to ride the Brant. Most of the trails have a clay base, and are hard packed and fast when dry, while slick and daring when wet. Avoid after a heavy rain.

Trail SurfaceFrom boardwalks and bridges to mineral soil and clay.

What to RideThe Brant Tract provides great riding opportunities for all ages and skill levels. If you like open and flowing type trails with little challenge or elevation change, then try The Brainbuster, Rabbit Run, Red Pine Loop and Rolling Ferns. For the more seasoned rider who likes tight and technical trails with lots of elevation change, take The Brainbuster to The Express and over to Devil’s Elbow and through The Shocker and Razor’s Run. For more of a challenge include The Widow Maker and Rick’s Retreat. This is a great circuit and is guaranteed to get your heart pounding.
