Forest Lea Trails
 Information
A network of single track trails and forest roads covers this 600 acre block of crown land and are accessible for biking and hiking in the spring, summer and fall. The easier, open routes follow the old logging trails, while challenging loops of advanced level singletrack trails wind through the forest. This network of trails will provide enough of a challenge for the technical single-track enthusiast, and enough easy going trails for the less adventurous mountain biker. Care should be taken at all times, and trail visitors use the trails at their own risk.
During the winter season, the trails are for the strict use of cross-country
skiing, held under a Land Use Permit by the local cross country ski club. It is important to follow the etiquette of trail riding when using these
trails.
Directions
- To find the trailhead
of the Forest Lea Ski Trails travel west of Pembroke on Hwy 17; turn
left on Forest Lea Rd and follow the road to the end; parking for
trails is on your right.
- At the top of the parking
lot is a trailhead where maps are available.
- It is important
to be responsible on these trails and follow the bike etiquette described
in the introduction to this guidebook.
- visitors use these trails at their own risk.
Note:
These trails are under Ministry of Natural Resources jurisdiction and
subject to Ministry guidelines. Access to these lands is subject to
provincial changes.
