TRAIL DEVELOPMENT

Our club is dedicated to maintaining and expanding our trails and riding opportunities in Thunder Bay. With the help of our awesome trail crew and volunteers, we have continued to improved Trowbridge Forest each year. Last year alone we invested over $38,000 into trail development thanks to our generous sponsors, donors, grants, and our volunteer’s hard work!

We are excited to announce what we have in store for 2020, It’s going to be another exciting year!

There were a lot of changes to the trails in 2019, most noticeably:
  • Construction of Drift a 1.7km of machine built intermediate flow trail connecting the bottom of Hilltop back to the top.
  • Machine built extension of the Prospector Skills Trail that added another 150meters of flow!
  • A new easily accessible kids xc loop Fool’s Gold
  • Trailhead Map at Kinsmen Park

Come Out and Build

Check our schedule for our trail development days to join us for a build. Throughout the summer we work on maintainance projects and new trail development. Every additional hand in the dirt makes a difference. Volunteering with our trail building days is one of the best ways to help out the club and contribute to riding in the area! And besides, when you shred that wicked trail, you’ll get the change to share the story of how you helped build it with your riding buddies; over, and over again. If you’d like more information on getting involved shoot us an email.

Where to meet?

We either meet at Kinsmen Park (Trowbridge Falls) or Shuniah Mines for trail development depending on which is closet to the worksite. Kinsmen Park is just off of Trowbridge Rd, park in the lot and look for a group of people with tools. When we meet at Shuniah Mines, drive through the gate and park off the rd inside the gate. Please do not park on the side of the highway.

What should I bring?

We will supply the tools, but we ask you to bring:

  • Work gloves
  • Steeled toed boots
  • Water & snacks
