The directions are wrong, turn onto 19th rsvd. You will see signs for a winding road, narrow 2 lane road. It looks real sketchy the entrance but the conservation are is real nice. Also a lot of youngsters hanging out there, not quite sure what they were doing maybe drugies or something... yours to discover.

The easiest way to reach the trail is by taking Mulock west to Bathurst, cross over Bathurst and continue down the windy road. You will go approx 4km's and there will be a small parking lot on the right hand side - this is the main entrance. You can also access it through the small subdivision of Townhomes off of Bathurst (north of Mulock on the West side).

There are some pretty good looking singletrack trails, some hucks off to the side of the main trail (to the right when you get down the steps)apparently some north shore stuff but I couldnt find it. Its easy to get lost

I live close by and found out about this place from a friend. Just a few things to make clear, you are not supposed to try and go down the 99 steps (may result in injury), the place is large and thich with treees, i don't know people don't like it there. The place offers great uphills and downhills, being an average-advanced rider let me say that if you choose to make your own trail be sure to watch out for the sap line (friend barol rolled onver one), other than that the leaft and sandy trails push you to learn your bike on these 'slipery' conditions. The free ride stuff on the left side of 99 steps is great for beginner free ride riders (caution: watch out for sudden drop off the side of hill, lets just say both tires were locked and i was gaining speend...the tree), check it out.

Hello, I've lived about 10 years beside this forest trail, and i could tell u now that there are more trails in that forest to be found (ive even tried maping out the trails due to the huge number of trails that leed nowere). You could find something for begginers to advanced (which would be the 99 steps which didint quite work out for me: went down 20 fell down the rest). There are many beginner trails near the townhouses by bathurst. i found this forest to be the best all-day bike riding (or any other sport) galore you'll ever encounter. there are also many suicidal drops if that may be what your into. Good day.

fun to the left of the steps are some begginer north shore style ramps. many hills and it gets really hot so wear something light! BRING LOTS OF WATER!!! Very easy to get lost... i did...

I consider myself an average rider ... this trail is suicide for anyone less than excellent to professional. Don't go if average or lower skill ... unless you want to be hurt.

Make sure you take the bike path, not some random trail that looks like it could be fun and exciting, because no humans did not make those ... animals did.
