Description: Good twisty singletrack with not much climbing, fast and flowing with a few sections of rocks and roots. Can be done as an out and back ride or a lolly-pop loop. Take some time and explore the few alternate routes in the area. The trail ends when you get to Powerline Rd. after riding under the 403 highway, turn around and head back to the start. The entire ride can take between 16-19km depending on the route (out and back or lolly-pop loop).

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Beginning off Hardy Road, with the exception of the first two hard hills early in the ride, the trail is primarily curvy flat single track in the flood plains of the grand river - anyone can ride it. The last few kms are where the fun begins! Tough climbs, technical descents and a variety of trail surfaces - loose sand/dirt, rocks and roots. The singletrack on this part of the trail is on the edge of a steep hillside, tight and techincal. You're at the end when you reach the multi-use SC Johnson Trail, but the fun is only half over... you get to ride back the same way you came! A pretty solid two hour ride out and back.

Super trial along the Grand River in Brantford. I start at the parking area on Hardy Road and ride the trail out to Powerline Road and back. Good for a 1.5-2 hour ride depending on route (there are a few options when you get close to riding under Highway 403). Mostly nice fast twisty singletrack with some rocky technical challenges here and there. Not much climbing but there are a few that will get you breathing heavy. The out and back ride is 16-18km (again, depending on route taken).

This is a great ride! I love doing this trail. I like to start at the old wescast factory on powerline road. Head north on the single track for about 500 metres then merge into the trail heading south. You know you found it when your at the first technical downhill. If you start from here it is very flowing once you get the hang of it, lots of different terrain, downhills, climbs, rock sections, little north shore stuff and root sections. Takes a good rider about an hour to get to hardy road non stop riding. Enjoy and please respect all trails.
