Review: A good place to start on this trail is at the bottom of Pottery Road, if you pass by on a bike or car you will see the dirt parking lot. The start of this trail is a bit difficult and gets your blood pumping but after this it's sweet trails, if not a bit bumpy from ruts and hikers, but there are some technical half pipe style U's and some sweet bridges! If you have time, try to check out all the forks in the trails on the backtrack, and if you're feeling lucky, the catalysts up top for a more hazardous but insanely fun ridge ride. The tragic part of the Don is that, being inner city, it suffers from a lot of litter, but occasional clean ups are scheduled from time to time.

Review: Hard to find a trailhead for the trail. We were visiting from MI and brought our bikes in soul purpose to ride in Toronto when we got there. We couldn't find a trail entrance to save our lives, we rode around the hospital for about 20 minutes just to find some type of entrance to the trail. About 85% of the ride was on paved road. The only thing we found that was in the attached pictures was the mogule park. Does anyone have a better reference where to actual go for the MTB portion of it for visiting riders? It would be great to know for future visits.

Review: This is the best technical single-track in Toronto. It is very technical and can be even more challenging when there are a lot of riders on it. KEY ISSUE is that there is definitely a wide range of abilities on the trail and with limited space to pass in some parts, can become a little dangerous. More signage and monitoring could make this place even better!

Review: There is an incredible trail head off of Redway rd. (off of Millwood rd.) Their is parking at the back of the Loblaws with a massive map of the network on display. Sewage plant is a little stanky. Oh well.

Review: I have reviewed this once but there are numerous improvement over the last time that needs a new review. The DVP network (as I like to call it) can be broken down into 2 main areas (east side and west side), The east side could be further broken down into 7 sections all with their own unique flow. The first is a quick warm up with a few climbs and fairly straight run. The second runs tight along with quick up and down climbs with some fast turns through trees. The third it self can be considered a loop and has two wonderful sections in it that are sure fast and flowing pump sections. The forth has more challenging climbs and breaks off into an advanced section (very narrow and sketchy) and an intermediate section which flows very nicely then meeting up. The forth section under the Laird overpass has many elevated skinnes and stunts for those advanced riders. All with by passes for those who can`t do it, then finishing off into the park. The trail picks up again on the right next to a bridge or tails to the left running along the river as a east route or along what is called Catalyst (intermediate). Running right takes you back to Pottery rd and is pretty flat and fast (you will also get into the Jumping park that is now there). Back to the left side after Catalyst there are three smaller sections that have everything from 6 to 10 foot drops all the way to elevated skinnies that are about 7 feet high. These two last sections will finish at Sunnybrook park.

Review: Awesome single track with something for everyone. Most advanced options also have more intermediate options. There are THREE main sections here. Once you hit the parking lot between the Bayview Extension and this parking lot, continue along the road to to the small concrete bridge. Take the turn left just before the bridge and keep taking rights. You'll cross a small stream and go up a nasty hill. Lots of options here. Try to hit the route that goes along near the top of the ravine. You'll eventually end up back at the bridge. Cross the road and take the fast, flat trail along the river to a crazy terrain park. The trail eventually arrives at a wider gravel road. Go left to exit back to Bayview. World-class trails in the heart of Toronto!

Review: Great network of trails right in the heart of the city, who can ask for more. THe wonderful thing of this trail is the commitment of the people who keep comming back and improving them year to year. Super flowy sections with some climbs. always a bail route and something for everyone. I just recommend people to stay off them a day or two after a rain storm...Too much eroision otherwise.

Review: Awesome. Something for everyone. Where there's something really scary, there's always at least one easier path around. I bring my wife and we ride together, but she does the easier stuff. Lots to work up to. Thanks so much to whoever maintains and builds the trails. You guys rock!!! This is the best riding in Ontario and it's free!
