Dear Hammerfest Trail Users,
The Arrowsmith Cycling Club (ACC) wishes to advise trail users that recent Mosaic forestry logging operations are now complete. Logging partially affected the northwestern portions of Outback and Jughead. Those trails are now fully open.
Please be advised that Mosaic operations could take place at anytime. At Mosaic, safety is a high priority. When any activities are taking place employees and contractors abide by strict safety rules. Mosaic expects trail users to abide by their safety rules and respect their worksite by not entering any active or closed areas – please respect all signage.
Mosaic Forest Management currently provides ACC with an Access Agreement to our private managed forest lands in and around Hammerfest. This agreement enables both groups to work together in the creation of trails strategies that support mountain biking, race events, tourism and recreation.
The agreement gives ACC formal access to manage, maintain, and recreate in the Hammerfest Trail Network while providing Mosaic with assurance of a high level of conduct among users and a focus on safety. ACC will be responsible for stewardship of the trails to ensure compliance with industry standards for trail building.
THANKS to Mosaic for the small parking area (about 12 vehicles) that was constructed just prior to the yellow gate. Some users can now park off the main road which is a bonus from a safety perspective.
HammerFest Trail Network is located near the Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. This is primarily an Intermediate riding area, especially for the trails below the Hydro ROW. Trails above this ROW tend towards Black diamond. Trails that drop down to the Englishman River are also Black Diamond but very scenic with a stiff climb back up, always a challenge. Ride these river trails in a down river direction.
HammerFest is host to the XC and Enduro races as part of the Island Cup Series. This is a 'pedal up' riding area, there are no shuttle options.
Best place to start is in the main parking lot in the Englishman River Falls Park. Use the newly completed Park trails to access Walrus for the start of a HammerFest tour.
Have fun, ride safe and join the Arrowsmith Cycling Club
