Review: Hilton Falls has a great mix of trials, from completely rock filled to smooth limestone double track and some nice smoother single track. The mapped trails are well marked, but there are a bunch of unmarked trails that you can easily get yourself lost on. The cycling trails are bike only but be prepared to encounter the odd hiker. The double track trails are multi use but wide enough not to run into any issues with hikers. I would recommend sticking to the marked trails for your first visit, unless you hook up with someone that knows their way around. The double track trails have rest stations which include the odd fire pit, couple tables and an out-house, which is great if you plan to bring the family along for an outing.
There is a gate fee so be sure to check their website for current gate fees.
Overall Hilton Falls is a great place to spend a few hours or a full day riding and checking out the sites, don't leave without checking out the falls themselves and make sure to bring the camera.

Review: Hilton and the attached Agreement forest has miles of both intermediate doubletrack and the most difficult rocky singletrack there is. Bent Rim especially is a double black diamond challenge. I'd recommend riding with a partner on the hardest trails. It's a good place to ride when other trails are wet as it drains well. The falls themselves are worth seeing.

Review: Its a good and fun park with many different trails. There are rocks in areas but depending on what trail you picked, there may be just rocks, or a few here and there. However the the maps that are placed are complicated to follow when riding. Not sure where to go at times so i follow the main path. They say there are single tracks but i haven't really experienced them, nor have i found them. There was one and it was extremely short, and a 2nd but later i found out that its not part of their park.

Review: Trail was very rocky, no flow. Had to walk sections of the singletrack. Rock gardens had rocks too big to ride over.

Similar Trail: I wouldn't recommend this type of trail, but a similar one would be Whopper Dropper, near Halifax NS

Review: Hilton Falls has everything you would want, except major jumps or elevation changes. Lot's of technical single track, good intersplicing of regular XC trails to catch your breath, and then plow into more crazy rocks. I think Rock Garden is the perfect description - but there are many easy ones too - and lots to look at. One of my favourite courses in GTA. Probably more than 40K of interconnected network of single track. You need to be good not to walk on 'Bent Rim' and sections of '5 Bridges'.

Similar Trail: Hilton Falls is similar to Kelso, but more technical and less downhill. You need to be good not to walk on 'Bent Rim' and sections of '5 Bridges'.

Review: Rocks rocks and more rocks. This place is loaded with rocks. There are some easy doubletrack trials in between but most of the singletrack is rock strewn. There are also lots of unmarked optional trails that have great singletrack riding. Not much climbing. Awesome place to ride if you enjoy a technical challenge.

Review: Hilton falls can be very difficult specially if you take the bent rim single track. An OK place to ride however watch out for the weather if you go after a rain it is crazy full with bugs. Other than that the admission will allow you to go to Kelso as well which is just across the high way. Hilton is a mixture of single track, fire roads pretty flat...There are exposed sections of rock which are either sharp or mossy.
