Trail construction in Silvan Forest started in Nov 2014, and the 170 hectares of private forest has quickly become one of Nelson's favourite riding areas, with 24 hour, free public access.
A core network of fun, safe trails, with well graded single track climbing trails forming a backbone from the bottom of the property to the top ridge. Plenty of long run downhill options to ride, all with their own character.
2018 saw the pine forest harvested, with trail rebuilding happening in tandem with harvest ops - the core network of trails is back in place and improved as of Sept 2019.
Future trail development will move into the grade 4/5 area and linkage trails to the adjacent Kingsland Forest.
