Bicycling Off Road. A variety of off road trails can be found across Ontario.
Typically they have a rough dirt or granular surface with two tracks and grass in the middle. Some have only one track. In most areas these trails are shared with many different users, including pedestrians. Some trails permit horses, who leave a rough surface, and some permit all terrain vehicles.
Off road rail trails, trails within a Conservation Area or Provincial Park and other urban trails may be in better condition but standards vary considerably. Some have a packed granular surface but are frequently rough and uneven. Only a small minority in more urban areas have a hard surface.
Check for information on current conditions before you plan a long trip using off road trails. The majority of these trails are suitable only for mountain bikes or hybrids and not suitable at all for narrow tired road bikes. In most situations you should count on bicycling at a walking pace.
