A sincere thanks to Cyborg. Riding in the don is like nothing else. There’s always a challenge when you least expect it. If you ride the don regularly, you improve every ride.

Rode this earlier this summer and it was a little overgrown. Hard to keep your speed when there is vegetation hitting your arms or face.

I think they might have hit Sky Pilot which is a legit double black. It ends just above the river crossing for Beaver Flats..

An addition to my earlier comment: the very beginning of the trail (starting from the north) to the first bridge is good. Then go over the bridge and pick up B. Lowtown to continue going south on enjoyable trails.

There has been some damage to the bridge. It is undergoing repairs, but for the time being it is not recommended to take this side trail. Just use the shortcut along the tracks instead.

Bridge has taken another hit. It's hard to be certain, but one of the concrete slabs that was installed at the culvert to prevent erosion looks like it has been undercut by the erosion it is failing to prevent. This under-cutting caused the slab to slump by a few inches, and as a result the strut that was supporting the centre trunk fell away. The centre trunk then dropped down by another 12" or so to rest directly on the concrete slabs. This lowered the middle part of the bridge by the same amount, so it is now underwater during each and every flash flood event. In addition, the north bank continues to disintegrate. It doesn't seem possible to overcome these enormous forces of erosion, instead I will try to salvage the ladders at some point and rebuild the bridge downstream a bit. In the meantime, treat this structure with extreme caution.

Sky Pilot is the best option when the fences are up, then you can climb back up at the PA Upline to bypass it.

Always at the crux section where you had to use a bit of technique and finesse to make it without dabbing. All made too easy now.
If the person doing this is reading this: if you simply must make the trails more like road riding, do it by _adding_ dirt. Or even rocks. Seriously: it will have the same effect, and when you finally decide to take up riding in a velodrome where you belong, the rest of us can at least undo your hack-job attempt at trail maintenance and enjoy the trails again.

A sign is sometimes a good idea. You'll most likely never catch the person.
I had a similar thing happen on a local trail; people where cutting a corner by like 10 feet, just to avoid some roots. I'd pile logs and trees over the shortcut, but within days they'd be gone. Repeated this process 2 or 3 times before I printed up a sign, laminated and tied it to a stick over a new pile of logs telling them to screw off.
They must have got the hint because that pile of logs is still there a few years later.

They must have got the hint because that pile of logs is still there a few years later.

A sign is sometimes a good idea. You'll most likely never catch the person.

It looks like someone cut out one of the roots in the Fourplay switchbacks... Please don't remove roots and other technical obstacles that have been a part of the trail for a long time just because they are hard... It's a double black trail after all.

This trail is unsafe. This trail is not fun.
Perhaps it was at one point, but the eroded hike a bike sections make this trail worthless in my opinion. Experienced riders of the Don likely know this, and can judge for themselves whether or not to ride this trail at their own risk. However newer riders rely on trailforks to explore our trail system. I know because three years ago I started riding the don for the first time, and the maps/ratings on here are how I learned what trails to ride, at my own pace.
This trail being labeled a blue is beyond misleading. It represents the trail as a relaxed, low risk, low consequence route through the area that is appropriate for riders looking for that sort of thing. This is contrary to reality.
I propose that the route on the map be truncated to the western section from don mills underpass to STD-Town connector. Unless I am mistaken this should avoid the deprecated sections. If we wish to leave the eastern section for informational purposes it should be rated hiking only, or very high difficulty to reflect the true level of risk/consequence associated.

That section is known as 'Moartown' and is unfortunately hidden off of trailforks, but at the end of moartown when you reach the paved path, directly across is another trail 'noodle doodle' (also hidden) that will bring you back to the bridge, then you just ride the new metal bridges back to motown.

That section is known as 'Moartown' and is unfortunately hidden off of trailforks, but at the end of moartown when you reach the paved path, directly across is another trail 'noodle doodle' (also hidden) that will bring you back to the bridge, then you just ride the new metal bridges back to motown.

I was lot for hours on the train tracks and ended up seeing a golf course I wasn’t aloud on. We rode kitchen sink and got ona main road. Would not recommend as it leaves you to either ride it all backwards which is a pain. The start is fun tho.

That doesn't sound fun, for future reference, when you get to the train tracks, directly across them leads back down to a trail called standard deviation that can take you back to the main valley.
Or across the train bridge and then to your right is the start of Kitchen sink and Dr Quads.

Awesome trail pictures don’t do it justice. It is steep and windy. Great trail for intermediate riders looking for there first black but still might be too challenging for them and may leave them walking it. The uphill is brutal but the decent is oh so worth it.

The left-curving banked structure that is seen in one of the photos above dated Oct 12 2020 should probably not be ridden. I didn't think anybody was riding it, until I saw some video footage just the other day from someone who did. The bottom part of the structure dropped about 18" in a land slump during sometime Jan-Feb 2020. After that, I believe some trail runners patched it back together, including some new cleats that assist them to run up it. As far as I'm concerned it was a hack job done by the light of the moon, and whoever patched it up certainly did not address the underlying instability of the bank there. And, those cleats are a good 2" high, just enough to kick the front wheel descending unless the rider is pretty steady. Bottom line, treat it with extreme caution as it is NOT a maintained structure.

The ground under this structure has continued to slump, and the exit ladder is now teetering off into space with a decided gap between it and the bank. whoever it is that insists upon riding this structure as it collapses in slow motion has dumped more and more crap and garbage on top of it to keep it 'rideable'. My cursory glance shows 2 layers of pallets, and 2 layers of 2x SPF off-cuts have been dumped in there within the past year. The original low ladder section is no longer even visible under this accumulation of crap. I hope whoever is dumping that garbage in there is planning to pull it all out again when the slump finally gives way for good.

Trail The Garbage Cow
Trash Panda was built very recently & Garbage cow has been there long before. the builders were seriously in error to merge the trails. The Garbage Cow original route was perfect & works to this day.
Trash Panda might be popular but needs to be re-routed just before it meets Garbage Cow over the top of the hill along the ridge where a trail already exists & they can merge along the top of the ridge then split off.
That leaves one more issue where they again cross just at the parking lot. the real solution would have taken Trash Panda along the bush following Leslie south to leave the old Garbage Cow trail as it was. Maybe it should simply end when it meets Garbage Cow.
Anyway argue all you want, as usual someone will have to get hurt first for the right thing to be done or for the city to step in and demolish everything. Then we all lose.

The Don already has a ton of unnecessarily added trails that promote trail braiding, connectors and shortcuts.
IMO, the old garbage cow trailforks route was dangerous, it told you to ride uphill (backwards) on a much more popular downhill only trail.

I agree that you shouldn't ride the trash panda backwards, but the section where you ride north on the trash panda section was flat where no one would have extreme speeds.
IMO since the garbage cow was built before trash panda, it wasn't added to braid or shortcut the trails, and doesn't pose a great risk.

You might want to do your research, on who built the trails before you go giving the credit to someone who's never taken part. That certainly wasn't my vision. And will never be. 2 sperate groups built the sperate trails. Timothy Charles owner of torba for foreplay. And Me and Hubble. Rollerflowster, however I was called Smiths Edge from 2013-15, before we finalized the trail from impatient riders.

I wonder if there would be a way to ask trail forks to archive the old results and do a reset for the new trail... One can hope

Oh good idea, I'll ask an admin if it would be possible.

Does the leaderboard actually show old results? Or is it already updated to the new longer segment?

currently shows the records for rollerflowster from when it wasn't merged with fourplay. I dont think its humanly possible to do both flowster + fourplay in under 3min.

OK so I asked Trailforks support, and there is currently no way to reset the leaderboard, but they are working on adding it.

Trail Twisted Beaver
its a narrow and windy trail, trail forks has over simplified this trail as there is far more turns then it shows, by no means is this trail not fun as it is quite tight and requires a descent level of confidence to ride hard. In the end this is a good trail to spice up your ride a little if your like me and use beaver flats as a means of getting to more difficult trails farther north in the valley.

Trail B.Lowtown
FYI this is only the first 2/3rds of this trail. If heading north, the full trail joins the Dr. Quads/Fruitloop connector and then veers off to the left at the start of Quads. It then travels along a lovely plateau before dropping down to the river. Where one might be inclined to connect it with the northern section of STD, thus creating, some might say satisfying, Motown/B.Lowtown loop.

This trail needs some breaking in to pack the surface. Fat bikes are probably best to start with.

Just retired to Nova Scotia (2020) and discovered Trailforks. Nice to see all the trails in the Don that I built thirty+ years ago are well ridden. I lived on Leroy in East York and spent many hours creating trail . Crothers woods, sewage plant, ridge, training loop, fruitloops, and many more. Man I spent a lot of hours in that valley. I'm back building trails on my property in Victoria Beach, NS. I have a mountain behind me. I forgot how much fun bench cutting and building impossible to ride switchbacks can be. Trailforks is amazing.

Cool to be able to see all the trails on Trailforks. I wrote this short description on my facebook page. Nothing to hide anymore - back then was not the same relationship with the city. LOL - coming out of the closet thirty years later. Back in the late 1980's, early 1990's I built mountain bike trails in the Don valley, Toronto. Mountain biking was in it's infancy back then. The epi center was Sunnybrook park. We would meet and ride crazy drop-offs and build crazy trails. The city decided to ban us because of erosion and being a public park . So I started building trails in the ravines of the Don valley. From Pottery road to Sunnybrook. Crothers woods, sewage plant, r
