Trails are divided into three sections (MTB, pathway & BMX) and locations are in order of approximate distance from our shop in Brantford.
Mountain Biking
If you are using the Grand Valley Trail, please remember that mountain bikers are uninvited guests on this trail. It was developed by the Grand Valley Trail Association. It is maintained by volunteers from the GVTA and the Brant Cycling Club as well as a few freelance volunteers, all of whose efforts are much appreciated. Check their websites to find out how you can support one or both groups through membership or one time donation.
Please remember if using it, hikers have the right of way. Don’t be a wanker. Thank you.

The Park is a world class cultural heritage destination offering a variety of experiences aimed at teaching guests about authentic Hauenosaunee culture.
SCOTLAND, ON – Wildwood Bicycle Farm –Wilewood is a regenerative family farm and forest property offering rustic glamping, bicycle-in-only bikepacking sites, artist live/work studios, fresh produce, and special events. It’s located on the border of Norfolk and Brant counties, mere pedal strokes from the Trans Canada Bike Trail and is surrounded by wetlands and forest. There are two local breweries and a restaurant within a 10-minute bike ride and a farmers market even closer. Our pondside bike-in only campsites have access to clean drinking water, a portable toilet, and a hot outdoor shower. We’re the perfect midway stopover if biking down to Port Dover from Cambridge or Dundas, and we make a fantastic cycling destination, as well. You can bike in, set up camp, and enjoy the soon-to-be infamous Brant/Norfolk Beermuda Triangle (Flux Brewing, Meuse Brewing, and Wishbone Brewing) before a beauty night under the stars.
