Off-Road Bike Trails

Take a ride in the L&A Forest!

Welcome to the 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.

Please be aware...

In May 2022 there was a severe storm that damaged a significant section of the forest. Clean up took place over the summer and the planting of seedlings will take place in Spring 2023.

Work will be underway over the Spring & Summer of 2023 to get the trails back in tip-top shape for our riders and hikers. While we’re open now, please use caution when using the trails. Thank you for your understanding.

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
