Trail Description:
Coulson’s Hill is a great mix of beginner, advanced and pro-level trails and stunts. All single-track trails stem off from access roads that run the perimeter and through the center of the forest. Combined with the constant landmark of the Hwy 400, you can almost always gather your bearings and find your way back to the lot. There are a handful of challenging man-made obstacles such as ladder bridges (up to 15ft long), ladder drops and dirt jumps; new obstacles are added and maintained every season. There is a particular section towards the North end of the forest that is sometimes difficult to find, but it well worth the search if you are looking for the man-made component. The great thing about this site is that most advanced sections have an alternative for the developing rider; the majority of advanced stunts and obstacles have a by-pass. The more you ride, the more trails and obstacles you will discover. Worth a ride! **Keep in mind: It’s all up-hill to the parking lot, so save a little energy**

How to get there:
From Hwy 400, Exit East on Hwy 88. Go north on 10th Sdrd. West on 11th Line. Coulson’s Hill is on the North Side, across from Joe Magani Park (If you cross the 400, you’ve gone too far)
