As a result of the storm that hit Ontario on May 21, 2022, many of our trails may be inaccessible and require significant trail maintenance. The table below is a list of trails along with their status to the best of our knowledge. For trails with an unknown status, assume the trail will be impassable and plan accordingly. If you have new information regarding the status of one of these trails, please contact us.
During clearing efforts over the last several weeks, we have found trees down in previously cleared sections. There is still a risk of downed trees across trails marked as cleared.
If you are out on trails affected by the recent storm and cannot get through due to fallen trees, either turn back or do some work to clear the debris, if you can. Please do not bypass the fallen trees. Please do not carve new paths. Please leave healthy trees alone. Our ethos, our entire approach to wheeling, is to find the trails that are already there, not to hack and chop.
If you cannot get through, please be responsible and turn back, or pitch in to clean up.
