SaveMosaic Forest Management has started the new logging activities in the HammerFest trail network. Commercial Thinning areas are located in the northern and western trail extremities accessed from the yellow gate along ERR 78. Thinning has commenced in the Outback trail area and will eventually proceed eastward to Jughead, Locomotion, Dem Bones and the Link (See Map Below). Logging is anticipated to last about 3 months.
Machinery will be working seven days a week and for extended hours into the evening.
Ongoing Mosaic operations 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 .
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
