#161 of 308 mountain bike trails in Ontario
#7,864 in the world

Old railway bed extends east most of the way to Ailsa Craig ont and west for a concession or so .
Rail bed Mainly used by atv in summer and snowmobiles in winter . Trails head into Conservation area where foot paths are very over grown except where atvs sneak in and pack down trails. More to explore closer to lakes

    North side of lake had a few over grown quad trails but east end closed road opened up numerous new sections . Snowmobile trails in winter and numerous quad trails go in all directions , up and over numerous ravines and even tie in with actual west side park area hiking / biking trails. Current conditions were wet and muddy due to recent rain .

    Rail trail well packed in most areas , over grown and closed in others.
    Within the conservation area - not kept up with brush cutting and many areas have trees stacked across the path to stop atv access which also hinders bikes
    But atv trails are good to follow .
    Lots more area to explore on north side close to lakes where more trails could be seen .
