Off-Road Bike Trails

Ready to shred?

Welcome to the brand new Lennox & Addington Forest Trails. Be immersed in 120 acres of rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield's tall pines and granite landscapes.

In L&A we take cycling seriously. Ride “The Pines” section of the Lennox & Addington County Forest find out for yourself. You’ll experience 10 kilometres of logging roads and single-track trails designed with bermed curves and elevations that incorporate the natural terrain of the forest.

What to know before you go

Bicycle riders and hikers (& snowshoers and skiers) please stay off the Orange Marker section of the trail. It is a small section of the trail that is designated for motorized traffic only. There is a new section of trail that runs parallel.

ATVers and snowmobilers, please keep to the Orange Marker section of the County Forest. It is accessed from 5th Concession Road to the east, and from the north-most section. Motorized riders are asked to stay along the hydro lines east of the forest to connect to other trail systems.

The Pines Loop

Difficulty: Easy

Directional Markers: Green

The Pines Loop will get you where you need to go. This trail incorporates old logging roads and provides access to all the trails in the forest. Mountain bikers will enjoy the high berms at each of the main corners.

Cut Through Trail

Difficulty: Easy

Directional Markers: Red

Cut Through Trail meanders east-west through the forest, connecting with the Up & Down Trail at Crisscross Junction. The trail takes you through the widely-spaced planted section of the managed forest and into the most densely treed area of the property.

Up & Down Trail

Difficulty: Easy

Directional Markers: Yellow

On the Up & Down Trail you weave through the forest, connecting with the Cut Through Trail at Crisscross Junction. The path takes you through mature pines, maples and birch groves for an enjoyable hike or ride.

Dipsy Doodle Trails

Difficulty: Moderate/Difficult

Directional Markers: Dark Blue

As the name suggests, the Dipsy Doodle Trails take you up, down and around the western-most section of the forest. Explore Little Rock & Big Rock and make a jump or two. There are many sections of this trail, some wide and some not-so-wide. There is quite a drop off along Ridgeline so be careful!

Southern Dip

Difficulty: Easy

Directional Markers: Purple

The Southern Dip is a nice little hike that couples two old logging roads with a newly-created path that weaves through the forest. It’s not a long detour from the Pines Loop, but is definitely a worthwhile hike or ride near the southern border of the property.

Church Pass

Difficulty: Easy

Directional Markers: Light Blue

The Church Pass provides a straight on view to the Flinton Church (or takes you directly away from it, if you prefer). It’s a nice straight trail with large berms at both end. Build up some speed and take them hard!

Hardcase

Difficulty: Medium

Directional Markers: Brown (New - not yet signed)

This trail is called Hardcase due to the mysterious wooden container unearthed during construction. You’ll be ‘lost’ and ‘found again’ in this section of the forest. Keep your head up at the Up and Down and Church Pass intersections.

Enchantment

Difficulty: Medium

Directional Markers: Light Grey (New - not yet signed)

Enter the land of Enchantment! This trail shares some of the Dipsy Doodle and Southern Dip paths. The middle takes you through bright green moss at Emerald City before you head down to Fraggle Rock… it doesn’t get much more enchanted than that!

Motorized Trail

Directional Markers: Orange

Only motorized vehicles are permitted in this part of the trail. Bicycle riders and hikers, please avoid this section.

ATVs, dirt bikes and snowmobiles are required to stay on this section of the County Forest. It is accessed from 5th Concession Road to the east, and from the north-most section. Motorized riders are asked to stay along the hydro lines east of the forest to connect to other trail systems.as
