Back Draft is a key link in our growing trail system, connecting the multi-directional TWSG and DMT trails. This green, machine-built trail fully encloses the network, providing seamless access to the Lower Humber Valley trails without ever needing to ride on roads.
Built for smooth flow and easy riding, Back Draft helps riders explore the entire system with confidence. The trail was constructed by the WCCA, with support from ACOA.
