      A diverse collection of trails near the Bayers Lake Industrial Park. This is some of the best riding in Halifax.

      NOTE: As of Spring 2015 - some of the original trails behind Burger King were destroyed to make way for an expansion of the Bayers Lake Industrial Park. These trails have been removed from Trailforks. The remaining trails are outside of the development zone and remain intact and rideable.
