* Woodlands Trail *
Single Track
Ridge Running
|
Once you've climbed either end of the Woodlands Trail, you get to ride through a very twisty section of track that runs the ridge of the escarpment on both sides. Lots of room on either side of the trail. No need to worry about being anywhere near the edge.

* Bruce Trail Spur *
Niagara Escarpment
Single Track
|
This is a section of twisty single track that winds along the top of the Niagara Escarpment for 4-5km. The view and scenery are amazing. Most of the trail is set back from the ridge of the cliffs, making it safe and comfortable to ride without fear.

Cranberry Creek Falls
|
There are several streams that run down natural gorges over the Niagara Escarpment to Dundas Valley below. This is the Cranberry Creek cascade. Every stream crossing in the park, is preserved and protected by sturdy wide plank bridges.

Niagara Escarpment
Rock Outcrops
|
Most of this trail spur runs right over rock outcrops of the escarpment. Look up ahead to the left. The large slab has its base broken away, but the trail runs right over it. Not that I think the slab is going to break off down the escarpment?

* Bruce Trail Spur *
Spencer Falls
|
This is the reason why the Bruce Trail Spur exists. The trail ends here at the base of Spencer Falls on the east end of the park.
The last section of the trail to get here, is a nasty rocky descent with 2 hairpin switchbacks. It's almost impossible to negotiate while riding, so I opted to walk down and back up. Much safer.
You can imagine. This trail spur runs along the top of the ridge way up there, yet you never get a sense of how far up you are (until you have to walk back up)
