How to get there:
Take 401 to HWY 8 West to HWY 86 towards Waterloo. Take the exit at Bridgeport Rd. and go back under the highway. Follow through downtown Waterloo until you come to Erb St. Turn right and follow Erb St. out of town past the dump to St. Agatha. Turn left at the church towards Petersburg. Look for the powerlines parking on the left after you pass under the lines.

It used to be a great place to go atving, I have been going there for almost 20 years, but in the last couple of years they have posted up signs for no motorized vehicles. I don't know if anyone has ever been charged though.

The directions are great, just keep going to the lights and than make a left keep going than another left you'll hit a dead end and notice the trailhead. If you stop at the place mentioned ride under the lines on the atv trails. Keep your eyes wide open there will be an opening after oh say 3 kms. And these trails offer some amazingly fun and technical riding.

This is all part of the hydro cut trail.

Great trails. Something for all. It is worth a 3 hour drive to ride these trails. The directions are good to get to the back trail head. I recommend going into Peterburg, turn left at the light. Then turn left at the first road. Cross the railroad tracks and park on the right.

in the spring do not go there it is so so so mudy there you sink into the mud like quik sand and there are pudles every ware but it starts to dry up around the end of may so if you want to go then that is better.. In the spring the trail ranks at about a 2 half but summer it is 5 well thats all out!!!!

I think the trial is good and a bit challenging but every thing is good on it and in a good location.
