Morrison Hall is a 1600 meter single black diamond technical trail located in the Western Crown Lands. This trail was originally constructed in the 1980s. By who and when has been lost to time. Cycling Nova Scotia used this trail for XC racing from the 1990s until the early 2000s. At some point the upper section was rerouted.

The tread surface is a mix of loam, dirt, and granite. The trail runs primarily downhill, although there are several short climbs throughout. There are multiple rock gardens and technical downhill sections. There is a memorial plaque for Christopher Morrison near the midway point of the trail.

Access Info

The trailhead is located off of Tote Rd. near the gravel pit.
