Trail Map and Info:
Trail Description:
25km loops of hard-packed wide ski trails connected to a series of 11 singletrack sections of varying length and difficulty. Lots of choice here, with singletrack ranging from fast and smooth, to downright nasty! Beginner sections include: Eager Beaver, Border Run and Pine Pitch. Intermediate sections include: Cliffhanger, Moose Mayhem and I’ll Be Buck. More difficult technical and fitness singletrack includes: Bear Bluff, Do Drop In and Spur Line. Beautifully maintained trails featuring bridges, rocks, mud, roots and water for those who enjoy the more serious side of the sport; but still offer plenty of beginner style riding to.
How to get there:
North on highway 11 past Gravenhurst and then follow exit signs for the KOA campground. Buckwallow is adjacent to the camp and has trail maps.
Buckwallow (Huckwallow) MTB || Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada
Spent a full day here at Buckwallow Cycling Centre after our wedding. Absolutely loved it and there's clearly been so much love put into it by Mike and Mark and the other trail builders. It's only $10 to go for a ride here and so worth it. Would recommend a season's pass if you're in the area.
Beware those of you that have never entered before. There is plenty of good stuff to roll, and everything within the 5 hooves is achievable. But if it is ya first time. Then possibly take it a bit easy once you start feeling fatigued. Cause it can own you if ya throw yourself into a climb, only to end off featuring in 'fails and bails'
We loved Buckwallow, and will be back for more
West D'Nile in reverse - Best trail at Buckwallow!
Super fun, challenging trail located at Buckwallow Cycling Centre in Gravenhurst, Ontario. Canadian Shield riding at its finest - you're practically riding on whalebacks the whole time! Big shout out to Mike for building and maintaining these awesome trails. May 24 weekend, 2017
Ravenshoe (Brown Hill Tract) Mountain Bike Trail Ontario Single Tracks
Not much signage, some very tight, gnarly single track. In the winter, one of the favorites in the Greater Toronto Area for fat biking.
Mountain Bike Racing At Buckwallow, Gravenhurst
As a brand new rider, racing is sort of silly since I still have difficulty with basic aspects of cornering effectively on tight tricky turns. But never-the-less I challenge Mike and Andrew to a friendly newb-off. Although Andrew has been riding longer, the race isn't as predictable as I might have thought. Here's hoping for more racing before the season ends!
By the way, I just got a brand new harness and gimbal. So videos will look much more smooth moving forward.

A day at Buckwallow
Mash up of the trails we did our second day there. So fun. Sit back and watch me struggle bus it through some technical nonsense and ride through some flowy corners. Can't wait to go back.

Loam Rider trail at Buckwallow
Riding my Kona Dawg on Loam Rider at Buckwallow in Gravenhurst Ontario.
Trying out the camera position, its not perfect but its not too bad.
I love this trail, it is one of my all time favorites. This is part (a) of Loam Rider, I didn't ride part (b) this time.
It's been a long winter so I'm still getting my legs and cardio back in shape, certainly a bit off my pace, but fun all the same!
This was my final trail of the day after an awesome 12 km ride.

Buckwallow Mountain Biking
This was taken at the Buckwallow Mountain Biking trails in Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada. Fun and rocky! A lot of fun and some challenging terrain.
Buckwallow - well at least one part of it
First time at doing this. Did not get much video footage because of mosquitos who ate you alive as soon as your stopped. So mixed it with some stills to flesh it out. Our next trip up we will be more prepared.
The Hydrocut MTB Trails || Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
The Hydrocut has 30kms of trails with plenty of features including bridges, skinnies, rock skinnies, wooden drops and heaps more. We spent the full day there and could have easily stayed for more. This was our second ride in Canada and first ride with the newlyweds Clarissa & Jordan!
It's super easy to access from Toronto, just off the 401. We highly recommend this trail to anyone in the GTA or even further out. It's definitely worth traveling to. Props to the build team at Hydrocut. Check their facebook for more info ont trail conditions as they're usually closed in rain.

Defiant MTB at Buckwallow
This was one of the Defiant MTB outings taken place at the Buckwallow Cycling Centre in Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada. This place is absolutely one of my top riding destinations that is super fun to ride and many trail features that challenges your technical climbing, descending and dropping skills. The place is privately run so there is a reasonable trail fee that get put to use to maintain the facility. Great place for an outing or camp at the KOA and ride whole weekend.
Dundas Valley - Small Bike Delight
This was the first filmed ride on my smaller Santa Cruz Chameleon 26 MTB. I was trying to combine in one video footage from two cameras - the Sony PXW-Z150 and the GoPro HERO 4 Black. Editing and rendering with Sony Vegas Pro 13 as XAVC-L video initially presented a challenge but was eventually solved by the gurus at Canada Computers. This should play back better from YouTube as they allocate higher bit rates for videos in pro formats. It will take a couple of weeks of YouTube processing to reach a decent quality of picture, so please be patient. I am planning to take more footage with the good camera and add some clips in the middle of those long and not too sharp GoPro takes. This is a work in progress, I am still testing and still experimenting. Thanks for watching.
SCMBC Trails
Great fall ride on the Simcoe County Mountain Bike Trails!
I fought the Buck and the Buck Won! Buckwallow Cycling Centre
We hit up Buckwallow Cycling Centre in Gravenhurst last Thursday. What a blast!
Some of the best maintained trails I've every ridden. Super challenging and it got the better of me for the most part!
There is a little of everything for everyone there from rocky technical sections to fast & flowey!
Can't wait to get go back!

We hit Midhurst trail in Barrie for 3 hours after the heavy down pour but the trail is still good to ride on.
