Trail Details: 
A great selection of fast, flowy and technical single and double track trails.  Its a bit of a maze with little signage, so best to have a guide or join a group ride if you want to find the best trails first time.  But it a small well traveled area bounded by roads on 3 sides, so don't be afraid to explore on your own. Someone will be able to point you back to the lot.
 
Driving:
Go north on Brock Road to Durham Road 21 at Coppin's Corners. Head west on Durham Road 21 for 5 km to Concession 7. Go south for 1 km;  the trailhead parking is on the left.
Or north on LakeRidge road to Durham Road 21, Goodwood Rd. Go west 2 km, turn south onto Concession 7. Go south for 1 km;  the trailhead parking is on the left.

A walkabout of Durham on Tuesday night confirmed that the trails are good to go. Conditions should be consistently tacky. The other observation was that leaf blowing in the fall has an obvious benefit in the spring. Take note of the difference... more

I did a walk around the South East end of Durham today, in order to check conditions. The trails are getting closer to being ready to ride but are still very inconsistent. Some are good to go but others are wet and are getting full of ruts... more

Durham and EDH trails are a muddy mess with snow and ice still persisting on some sections. We need a week of sun, wind and warmth to dry them out before they are ridable. Respect our trails: PLEASE DON'T RIDE UNTIL THEY'VE DRIED!

Sadly, a late spring this year. Still lots of snow on the trails but its beginning to melt. Trails are not ridable for at least a week, probably longer. Stay tuned for updates. Please respect our trails: DO NOT RIDE UNTIL THEY'VE DRIED!

Durham and EDH trails finally buried in 30cm of fresh snow. WARNING - wheels won't go! Even the Pugsleys were riding the road today. Ski tracks set in both Durham Forest and EDH for your x-c skiing enjoyment.
