More Meaford mountain biking opportunities

At Meaford Haven, you’re very close to one of Ontario’s legendary mountain biking trails.

Three Stage (30-minute drive)

Not far beyond Kolapore (heading from Meaford), you’ll find one of Ontario’s premier mountain biking destinations – an intricate network of more than 40 kilometres on, down (up), and below the Niagara Escarpment in Pretty River Valley Provincial Park, with occasional views out to Georgian Bay. With lots of rocky and rooty sections, these trails are best ridden dry and for the most part aren’t for beginners (though the section at the top by Sideroad 6 and the 2nd line offers a short loop that’s a great introduction).

For a taste of the rocks, check out this video at 7:04.

While maps have existed at various points in the evolution of the trail system, most are outdated. Take a GPS or ride with someone who’s been there before.

Unless you want to begin your ride with a massive climb, start at the top – there are plenty of trails without having to descend and climb back up. From Meaford, Highway 26 West to Grey Road 2 in Thornbury. South 13 km to Grey Road 19 east. East 5.5 km to the 4th line. South 2 km to Gibralter, and then east almost 3 km to the intersection with the 2nd Line. Park in the small lot or off the side of the road.
