Trail Features
Riders will be treated to diverse landscapes, from pine and hardwood forests to lowlands, environmentally sensitive crossings, rolling hills, and meadows. The trails are lined with a variety of plant flora and fauna, including various species of wildlife common in this area such as deer, grouse, bear, moose, fox, coyotes, small mammals, and songbirds, a journey worth discovering for those who love the outdoors.
Rest assured, great thought and care went into the engineering and construction of the entire trail system to minimize the impact on the environment as much as possible while maximizing its natural scenic beauty. Geo-blocks and puncheons were used to cross over wetlands rather than disturbing them. Locally sourced wood was used on the puncheons and treads. Materials were stockpiled in remote areas during winter to avoid rutting and damage to plant life.
