      Coulson's is known as a fun, fast, quick, and beginner-friendly forest that anyone can enjoy.

      Great for beginners and experienced riders, there is 15km's of singletrack and roughly 4km's of double track.

      You cannot get lost due to the boundaries of the 400 highway, and line 12/11 on each end.

      Parking is free, trails are maintained, and trails dry quick after winter/rain
