Boardwalk trail (Duthie Access Trail) is the aptly-named access to the Bluff. Hundreds of meters of boardwalk make the once slippery and muddy access to the Bluff a joy to ride and behold. This trail/bridge is popular with many user groups and is suitable for riders of all abilities. Respect other trail users and ride in control at all times.

Access Info

The trail beings at an unofficial parking lot on CN Land, and exits onto the Bluff Road right near the bottom on Apocalypse.
