Gravel Route
On , Simcoe County, Ontario
From what I gather, you can ride all the trails other than a few here and there and they're all two track with a few rock and root sections. some climbs and stuff, I think they cleared out most of the technical stuff for ease of use for campers so my gravel bike worked well on it. I think the park charges for parking so I just parked at the SCMBC lot at Dorian and took the road into an entry point but this trail seems to be up for sale and the land might be private soon. There's another point of entry that I think is the proper one to use, you park at a ball diamond at Tonache Park and go straight in on a service road which is a two track, then you have options to take a MTB trail or go onto the open track. I found myself riding in a campsite and felt a bit like an intruder once. The trail was leaf covered and flattened from riding and walking so it was like being on a carpet of sorts, other sections had packed gravel with short grass, some trillium plants that overtook a section and then there were some rocks to avoid. In all it's great for a casual ride, I wouldn't use it as a destination but if it's close to a route you're doing you could take a detour and check it out.
