Popular Peterborough Mountain Biking Trails
• 100 ★ 4.7 • 2,438 ft • 14 ft • 519 •
is a fast and flowing descent with some bermed corner and some features to get the tires off the ground. It's sacrilegious to ride Harold Town and not include one run down on your lap. Trail is named for the sound of the cedars when the...
• 85 ★ 4.6 • 1 mile • 33 ft • 433 •
Single track through a dense cedar forest. Some optional TTF, but ride-around's provided. Must be comfortable with wet slippery roots on short pitches, log-overs 20 cm, etc. as these are not optional.
• 100 ★ 4.9 • 2,221 ft • 3 ft • 430 •
Everyone`s favourite new baby added in 2015 and refined in 2016 with improved berms and added features. Scratches that `go fast` and `get them tires off the ground` itch. Can be climbed but keep your ears open. Those coming in the...
• 85 ★ 4.2 • 3,802 ft • 132 ft • 425 •
Best ridden from the side closer to the parking lot (corners flow better). The first half is old-school tight single-track with descents and traverses, including a IMBA Trail Crew Work Party Berm and Corner. The second half is a...
• 95 ★ 4.2 • 1 mile • 221 ft • 394 •
Primarily a switchback climb, but it makes for a great descent as well. Great flow with lots of ups and downs and well-designed corners.
• 90 ★ 3.9 • 1,834 ft • 31 ft • 392 •
A great piece of fast single-track with some high-speed berms near the top. Also works in the opposite direction to get back to the top of the property.
• 100 ★ 3.9 • 3,652 ft • 83 ft • 390 •
A 2015 addition to the Harold Town Trails. provides an around-the-back option to get to the top. Trail is less technical for less-advanced riders, but plenty fast for those pushing the pedals hard.
