Summary:
What a great riding spot!! This is what mountain biking is all about. Go to the beach and bluff for excellent views of Georgian Bay. Gives you a nice destination and reward for hard riding/training! You can come here and do fast 4X4 trails for hours for a great aerobic workout with challenging climbs and drops.

Or, do technical singletrack over logs, roots, rocks, switchback climb/drops. The trails are through natural unspoiled hardwood forest. Deer are a common site. Cool.
