Hilton Falls provides bikers with the most practical trails for any type of session, while also immersing your experience more through all of its surroundings and beautiful sceneries. Here are some of the finest selected trails In Hilton Falls.
1. Single Track Trails
With Single Track Trail you get to have a nice and steady 5 km ride with a difficulty being more suited towards advanced riders (tighter sections, sharp corners and etc.). While the trail terrain itself is easy (Green), it is best if you already have some experience with mountain biking and are looking for a normal length trail with some minor challenges that won’t take you out of your comfort zone. Beginners may have some difficulty advancing/controlling their bike through some terrains and may stumble across occasions with little steep hills and other obstacles. Overall, this trail is suited for an Intermediate and advanced level, mostly in terms of skill required and types of terrain that is present in the trail.
2. Bent Rim Trail
Bent Rim Trail is a 7 km trail that connects to many other trails such as the famous/well known Bruce Trail and further ahead leads into Beaver Dam Trail. Be sure to be well prepared, as the main trail course level is Intermediate (Blue).
Things you may find along the way are casual terrain drop, small slopes, and the usual twigs bushes and etc. If you’re being cautious and aware of other riders on the track, there is no major obstacle that could potentially throw you off balance, such as huge rocks etc., however you’ll need your control in tact that comes with the speed you’re comfortable with, so ride safely and enjoy this trail.
3. Wandering Lynx Back Country Trail
The Final main MTB trail we have for Hilton Falls is Wandering Lynx Back Country Trail. This trail is a single-track trail that get’s really rocky folks! The views of this trail are beautiful as you will be able to cross a bridge over a lake with many (and I mean many) trees. I’d personally recommend for bikers to come here in Autumn as it really shows off the true vibe of this trail, with all the rocks and colorful leaves. It’s nice and full of a rich nature experience if you want enjoy a bike ride that’s 6.5 km. This trail, just like the last one is an intermediate level trail (Blue level) with varying types of terrain similar to Bent Rim Trail but with a ton of more rocks. As it isn’t a really hard trail, you should pay attention to patches of ground that might have ditches in them or could be slippery during different rainy seasons. Over all this is another great addition to Hilton Falls mountain biking trails.
