At Echo Valley Nature & Bike Trails, you’ll waste no time jumping into adventure. Right at the trail head is a brand-new pump track – a looping route made of dirt mounds and berms that new riders and kids can ride for easy skills development. More experienced riders can take it at a faster pace for leg-pumping, heart-pounding excitement. Once you warm up, hit the wider-reaching trails for some woodland action. The main trail is 1.5 kilometres of scenic, all-abilities terrain. If you want a challenge, veer off onto one of the side trails – they’re marked by difficulty level – to encounter a variety of obstacles like rocks, single-track bridges, hills and stairs. With fourteen trails that all loop back to the main artery, you could easily spend half a day or more exploring the woods without ever returning to the parking lot. There’s an honour box at the trail head to accept suggested donations of $2 per rider to help cover the costs of trail development and maintenance.
