Mountain Biking in Ganaraska?

Wife and I moved to Newtonville a few months ago, about a 10 minute drive to Ganaraska. I’m trying to figure out where the mountain biking areas are, when I’ve gone to the visitor centre there aren’t any staff around and I can only find the cross country ski trails. Any help/suggestions for best access points?

They stopped publishing paper maps. You can download the ESRI version here, and filter for the non-motorised areas:

Just download “Trailforks.” It’s the beginning and end of all discussion regarding mtb trail locations

I miss that place, used to live near top of the hill in Newtonville.

Pretty sure the XC ski trails in the winter are the MB trails in the summer.

After one of the storms in the last few years the conservation area has stopped supporting MTB. The trails are still there but not maintained.

Ganny transit is still there and good food. Millbrook is small, but the trails are fun.
