SaveWith the start of the raining season, Mosaic Forest Management will be resuming activities in the Hammerfest area. The main road, accessed at the yellow gate has been upgraded ERR 78.
Soon to be started are roads upgrades to the Classic Road Climb. Expect lots of machine activity. Numerous warning signs posted. Please heed!!!
Ongoing Mosaic operations throughout the winter will, once again, require users, for their own safety, to respect signage in the area. Expect additional, broad trail closures during these operations. Mosaic thanks all riders in advance for their attention to the trail closures during this time.
Logging and road upgrades will be from the Yellow Gate unto the Classic Road Climb .
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!
