SaveLarose Forest is Ottawa’s family-friendly trail centre and attracts riders from across the region to its machine built trails which are buttery smooth with lots of berms and fun small features that riders of all abilities and ages can ride. The separating factor that allows beginners and experts alike to enjoy is simply the speed at which individuals choose to ride. Located near the town of Casselman in Ottawa’s east end, this trail system is managed by the Ottawa Mountain Bike association which provides regular maintenance and management of the trails. Larose forest is a managed forestry preserve comprised of rolling but mostly flat terrain, with sandy soil base that drains quickly after a rainfall. The trail system is a series of loops that can be linked together for various distances All together 5 km, 7.5 km and 10 km loops are easily created. All told there is nearly 40 km of trail if all sections are taken into account. The area has an excellent staging location with a large outdoor pavilion and very large parking lot. The nearest medical facilities are Ottawa 37 minutes away.
