Mountain Biking Forks of the Credit
#102 of 308 mountain bike trails in Ontario
A mixture of single and double track that starts in rolling meadows before dropping down the sides of the Credit River ravine and following the flow of the water past mill ruins and a waterfall.
Its somewhere between a figure 8 and an out and back trail. There are some fun (and fast) loose, rocky descents (that make for great climbs on the return leg) as well as some hard packed single track sections with roots and rollers. The trails are shared use so be on the lookout for hikers, you'll be on parts of the Trans Canada and Bruce trails.

From Toronto head north on the 410 from the 401 and you'll end up on Highway 10/Huronrtario St North. Continue north on Highway 10 for 16km and then turn left onto Forks of the Credit Road, then after about 3km turn right onto Maclaren Road. After about 2.5km a gravel driveway on the left will take you to the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park parking lot and trailhead.
Hard packed by hikers even though it has rained . Too many sections closed to bikes including the Bruce trail
| ThankThe trail was perfect for a beginner mountain biker. The trail was generally very easy but there are sections that are challenging enough for beginners to hone their skills.
| ThankIf what you love is tight twisty singletrack between trees, this place isn't for you... However, if you like loose rocky descents and fast packed sections of single track with some great scenery thrown in you'll love it. It does suffer from no bike-allowed trail back up from the far end of the ravine, so you have to do a little back tracking but its over the best bits of double track so its not all bad.
Not perfect but still a fun ride and definitely worth a visit if you enjoy something other than what compact trail networks have to offer.
Again, if the powers that be were to add a bike friendly downhill trail or two on the south eastern end of the ravine this place could be awesome.
