Mountain Biking Fort Saskatchewan Hidden Gold
#10 of 219 mountain bike trails in Alberta
This trail follows the North Saskatchewan river bank, and you'll never know that your in a city. Lots of twisty turns, cut backs, log piles, ladder bridges, that will bring a smile to your face and keep you coming back over and over again. Guaranteed to disorientate you the first time but this trail is almost all treed single track with lots of varing terrain from flat to steep climbs that will challenge all levels and if you end up in the river you won't be the first. Go for a "no dabber" but please wear bells as there are lots of blind corners, two way traffic, hikers and dog walkers at times.

Park at the tennis courts down by the river in the old part of town, start South on the paved trail along side the river for ~ 100 meters, just past the garbage you can look for a hole in the caragana bushes on your right. ~ 19 km out and back, local secret, best kept trail in the Edmonton area, well maintained.
Awesome trail with some nice jumps
