Meaford mountain biking, part 5

Here it is, the final instalment in our mountain biking discovery tour.

Sawmill Trails, Hepworth (45-minute drive)

These mountain bike trails are maintained and used a lot by members of the Owen Sound Cycling Club. A 9 kilometre network of single- and double-track trails with lots of ups and downs, some nice flowing sections, and tight and twisty corners makes for a well-rounded short ride. The area is largely pine forest, and it’s quite sandy – which means it can get tough in spots when it’s dry, but is great all-weather riding all season long. Access from the parking lot on the NE side of Highway 6, less than 2 kilometres north of Shallow Lake.

Blue Mountain (20-minute drive)

From the Village at Blue, you can choose a couple of mountain-biking options. With a cross-country trail pass, you get a one-time gondola ride to the top, at which point you can access the trail network at the top of the mountain and eventually work your way down. Or if you’d rather avoid all that criss-crossing of rugged terrain at the top and downhill sounds better, opt for a downhill pass, and go up and down as much as you like, tackling the numerous challenging downhill runs. Sound easy? Guess again.
