The Spine can be used to access many trails including Muskoka Flow, No Man's Land, Extra Credit, The Tub and the HV trails. Expect to use it more than once during your ride.

The singletrack navigates along a ridge at the top of Deerhurst's property. Features a large exposed 'spine' of Canadian Shield, and smaller exposed sections of rock. There is also a nice vista along the way.
