Jul 19, 2026 @ 11:13am (America/Edmonton) Jul 19, 2026 | mtb This trail is showing its age with a few rutty (not rooty) sections, but is otherwise clear of deadfall and in reasonable condition. Yes, a few boggy section as well but really minimally so considering its length. Recommended travel from south to north as this line would be mostly downhill. Traveling in the opposite direction in consideration of the natural terrain obstacles will definitely prove more challenging. | Variable | view | ||

Jul 13, 2026 @ 8:24pm (America/Edmonton) Jul 13, 2026 | mtb Rode the entire trail from west to east. It’s really fine. No deadfall but with short muddy sections from time to time but quite manageable. Scenic stops all along the way and highly recommended for that reason. However, I would only recommend a west-to-east travel direction since the difficulty level would be in the realm of Black Diamond in the opposite direction. Even with the gradient being mostly downhill traveling from west to east, the trail still presents a lot of punchy and sustained climbs with plenty of root and rock obstacles along those climb sections. Therefore, the recommended approach is via the Powderface Trail east to west and connect via the Trail Creek Trail and Powderface Trail headed north. | Variable | view | ||
Jul 13, 2026 @ 7:28pm (America/Edmonton) Jul 13, 2026 | mtb Very scenic trail that gets little use. Highly recommended for its scenic vistas and lonely feel. No deadfall, mostly dry and in ideal condition. Trail surface on the east side of the high point in super condition and mostly smooth overall despite equestrian use, seems rebuilt and machine cut. Trail on the west side of the high point not quite in as good condition but still highly navigable. Hardest point on the climb is the uphill gradient after the intersection with the Prairie Link Trail. Therefore, an e-bike is highly recommended if traveling westward beyond Prairie Link. Therefore, recommended travel direction is east to west with a return via the Prairie Creek Trail west to east. You really don’t want to do this loop in the opposite direction. Climbing Prairie Creek from east to west is more of a black diamond level of difficulty whereas climbing Powderface east to west is medium difficulty. | Variable | view | ||
Jul 13, 2026 @ 4:01pm (America/Edmonton) Jul 13, 2026 | mtb Mostly dry but has many short muddy sections beaten up by cattle. West half is far worse. | Variable | view | ||
Jul 13, 2026 @ 3:58pm (America/Edmonton) Jul 13, 2026 | mtb A dozen short muddy sections otherwise dry. The last 200 feet to the road is a horrible mess, but it’s easy to go around through the clearing on the right. | Variable | view | ||
Jul 10, 2026 @ 11:44am (America/Edmonton) Jul 10, 2026 | mtb Trail is running fairly well. A few wet spots where the creek has spilled over its banks (East of the gate), as well as where a few drainages cross the trail. These wet spots exist where the trail is predominantly gravel however, so there's no real mud to speak of. The new portion of trail is in excellent shape, and there's only one easily avoided soft patch pockmarked with hoof and tire prints. | Variable | view | ||

Sep 7, 2025 @ 7:37pm Sep 7, 2025 | mtb Dry and in good condition all the way to the other side / 66 dirt road. Personally, I like the rebuilt trail even on a 160mm travel acoustic bike. Yes; you’ll breathe heavily, but it’s good fun and you really earn your turns. | Ideal | view | ||

Dry loose and fun on the steeper sections, loamy through the upper forest. | Ideal | view | ||

May 30, 2025 @ 8:58pm May 30, 2025 | mtb Powderface Creek reroute and rebuild is complete. From some point last the Link (riding east to west) the trail has a completely different feel. It feels an awful lot like the rebuilt Prairie Mountain trail now. Machine built, mostly smooth, and borderline too steep to grind up on a modern enduro bike unless you're in top shape. They were allergic to building proper switchbacks - I counted exactly one. It does make for a very fast, blue flow style return ride done as an out-and-back. Still limited berms - more of a very fast downhill pump track. The eroded mess and baby heads of the past are gone. | Ideal | view | ||
May 25, 2025 @ 7:02pm May 25, 2025 | mtb May 25th - did the loop and this is now all dry. Some snow patches at the top in shaded areas but they're off the trail. | Dry | view | ||

Feb 1, 2024 @ 8:59am Feb 1, 2024 | mtb Mixed bag of death ice (clear and covering whole trail width), packed snow, bare in spots and a little slushy/muddy freeze melt. Better if you can stay on the bike and pick your braking zones away from the icy bits, tough walking if you pucker on the icy bits. Tree root drop at the end is mixed packed/icy, side slope was softish, rock drop at the very end was very rideable (almost smooth). Stay off prairie creek, lots of new runoff on the surface. | Freeze/thaw Cycle | view | ||

Jan 4, 2024 @ 7:38am Jan 4, 2024 | mtb Top third was in good shape with some ice hiding under the snow pack. Middle third was an icy gong show - what looked like dirt was actually a dirty ice pack with very little traction, if you can't straight line it without brakes your going to be in a world of hurt. Bottom third was back to good packed snow traction with a few icy bits (you could feel the change to cold as conditions improved).

Sep 29, 2023 @ 8:26am Sep 29, 2023 | mtb Work on the front side trail is done. It now features machine-built standard width all the way, and switchbacks through all the previous steeps. It's still very steep, but consistent grade. Drainage improved throughout. Flatter sections are similar to the original trail and have not been changed much. Old trail alignment has been heavily decommissioned with deadfall. | Dry | view | ||

Sep 23, 2022 @ 11:27am Sep 23, 2022 | mtb Hard trail due to steep climbs. I cleared all the deadfall with my Silky Saw, so as of Sept 23, 2022, it’s all clear. Most of the climbing is pretty steep and I ended up pushing my bike. The trail tread is good and there is no real horse damage. Good backcountry trail if you don’t mind pushing uphill but don’t expect mind blowing downhills. They are okay. Old school XC. The best part is probably the last descent towards Powderface Creek Trail climb. That trail currently isn’t on Trailforks but I’ll add it. | Ideal | view | ||
Sep 23, 2022 @ 11:27am Sep 23, 2022 | mtb Cleared a couple trees with my silky saw but I left a bigger one near the top because I had already spent nearly 4 hours clearing Ford Creek trail and I was pretty tired at this point. I think the big one might be 2 feet wide? I think a bigger silky saw could take care of it. | Ideal | view | ||

Jul 23, 2022 @ 8:38am Jul 23, 2022 | mtb Trail is overall pretty descent. The good sections make up for the sections that need work. The section of trail that traverses along just above the creek is along steep side hill and the trail is slumping/sluffing down the hill. This could be fixed with some cribbing. Not sure who is responsible for maintaining this trail if anyone? Still a very good trail but hard steep push up. Not for the faint of heart. | Ideal | view | ||
