 I gave Catalyst another chance after your report, but boy did I mess up. I wanted to get to party atmosphere but as I got to the construction bypass, I could not find my way around. Tried going up to Beth Neason Dr, which didn't work, then went back to the trail and decided to keep following along Catalyst along the construction... Ended up stuck in the woods for a good bit...lol I wish there was a way to indicate on the map where to go...

 Sorry, i should have been specific about PA. You definitely cannot get there from Catalyst anymore. I did Catalyst, around to the back near the construction/Beth bypass, kept riding the trail, then walked the old trail around fences up to the hydro poles, down Skypilot on foot, then rode Beaver Flats south.

 I don't think there's going to be any access between Catalyst and PA in the next few years. The only good way to access PA anymore is through the Wicksteed Ave. connector. PA Upline might also exist but Beaver Flats North was too much of a swamp for me to check last time I was there.

 @artvandelay33: That explains a lot. Such a shame. It was a nice route to close the loop towards Sunnybrook and back.
