New advanced trail. This trail was built specifically for bikers
There were plenty of footprints on the new trail so it's apparent that hikers have also adopted the trail
Care has been taken to bridge a gully but there is some construction debris that needs to be removed
New trailhead just west of the Leaside bridge
Noticed this fellow having a mid-day snooze at the top of a snag
Oops! Part of a red oak has fallen across the trail
I did a loop back along the "Flats" trail. The mountain bikers 'sneaky' underpass is still in good shape
The Don River winds sinuously through the valley

Hi John,
No, that trail was built specifically to be sustainable.
Any user can use it.
I have witnessed dog walkers, hikers, joggers, nature lovers, skiers, snowshoers, AND off-road cyclists using it in late summer, fall, winter, daytime, nighttime...
you should see some of the industrial waste along the trail from 50's & 60's era dumping that is falling out of the hillside. total shame.
"environmentally sensitive", "ravine protected area"...pffft. do your homework, environmentalists.
enjoy.

The "construction debris" isn't. It was from when the trail was used in the past. We specifically left it there so when the risk and liability folks walk the trail they can get a better idea how much better the new bridge is vs. the old one. We'll clean it up afterwards.
