Macaulay Mountain

Snow-covered ground in a wooded area with sparse trees and shrubs, under a cloudy sky. A faint path is visible through the snow, leading deeper into the forest. The landscape appears tranquil and desolate, with patches of bare earth and rocky terrain. Macaulay Mountain mountain bike trail.

Mountain Biking Macaulay Mountain

#70 of 309 mountain bike trails in Ontario
#3,446 in the world

Surprisingly extensive trail network packed into one small conservation area. Maintained by local club that loves sharp turns, steep climbs, gnarly descents, obstacles and lots and lots of different ways to ride in a tiny area. Trails from easy to insane.

    Amazing scenic area, light snow and frozen crust over running water flowing down trails and deep crunchy leaves to slow the fat tires down. Great trail design . Pay parking but other lots closer to downtown are free. Upper level double track flooded in areas with layer of thin ice over top. Water not more than 8 inches deep in center and easy to pass along sides.

    Groovy Tuesday and Rabbit are both tight twisty trails in good condition with some small rock gardens and bridges and minimal elevation change. Great intermediate trails!

    We rode at the beginning of May and the trails we chose to start (23 or 31 not sure) were hard to find and not well maintained. Lots of overgrown trees and bushes, glasses is a must.
    The rest (22,29,9,7) were nice flowy trails. Would like to ride again later in the season.

    Tons of trails in a compact area. some of the best are on top of the hill crest. lots of tight turney single track.
    even a steep...intermediate level not super technical but some tight spaces.

    Treck up the massive hill on the right of parking lot, take the trail to the left and take every right turn ... great fun ride.. could use some more technical obstacles.

    Bonus Porta Potties at parking lot.
