TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

reviewed by konacoiler on May 21, 2011

There is some good singletrack throughout the forest, and a lot of forest to cover. Problem is, none of the singletrack is mapped or signed. I have had a couple of good rides there, but I have also gotten lost. There are lots of doubletract trails that you have to use to connect singletrack and it can be a nightmare trying to figure out which way to go to connect the good stuff. Go with someone who knows the trails or follow a GPS route.

There are only 2 downsides to the Ganaraska forest. Not enough signage (IMBA is putting up signs soon). Poison Ivy. Wicked singletrack, some of the best I've ridden and if the previous poster thought it was tore up by horses then he wasn't riding the single track..... Great riding!

Just got back from my first trip to ganaraska Forest today.....What a total let down, $10 for a day pass and none of the singletrack in the central forest is mapped or marked, there is also no sign of any trail maintenance program in effect, the singletrack I did manage to find was in bad shape and torn up from hoof prints and covered in horse c***. What a waste, there are much better places to ride (and are cheaper) that at least maintain the trails. So where does the $10 go???? Obviously not into the mountain biking trails.
