Ground is thawing so somewhat muddy
Multi use mtb trails are on the north side of the Thames river east of Highbury ave
South side of the Thames west of Highbury ave
The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority map says there is no biking allowed except for the “multi-use” section which is basically the Thames River Parkway where it runs through here. Is this what you mean by “discrete mtb”?
Lower level along river bank has numerous trees blocking trails
A few other trees down in spots but currently trails are well packed from hikers . New areas left cleared by timber jack are now rideable .
Many of the main trails have had the fallen trees cleared up but the side trails are still blocked in some places
Some mud in areas but mostly leaf covered
Encroaching subdivision has changed much of the meadow areas. Many of the the descending runs have been chopped off and numerous trees down by natural causes timber jack and chain saw effect the progression through the trails. Also appeared that a hiker has set up branches across the trails in numerous sections about 10 inches above the ground. As a rider of this area since 1991 it's too bad , main smaller hiking area is still fine and maintened
This trail used to be amazing, due to construction ????. It is still a good trail been riding it for over 10 years. Scenery is awesome, lots of wildlife. There are some very technical spots. Ton of fun.
If the entrance is to the left of the community gardening area, at the far left of the parking lot then we didn't see anywhere ridable and I think it was marked as no bikes anyway.
Area seemed dry with minimal snow for this time of year with ground still slightly frozen. Whole area is on the side of a hill which extends down to a river. Water has cut ravines and embankments have been washed away in certain areas. Will need some serious excavator work. Also the whole area is suffering from numerous fallen trees more than any other year, blocking too many of the trails especially in the back sections. Hopefully someone official from the city heads in there with a chainsaw to clear things and make the hikers happy......... And anyone else that uses the trail for whatever reason.
Along rivers edge , some wet sections after recent rain
