Come up to swan hills when the weather turns spring like....lots of* fun trails* good riding.

hey thanks i think i will i also wanna check out Brule Lake, and i hear long island lake has lots of trails aswell

brules fun when its not busy, long island is good to. vega is pretty good when you get off the main pipeline, thats where we usually ride, slave lake/smith areas fun too

I'm new to the sport too. So far I've been to:
Saunders lake, (south of Beaumont), Best so far. Lost of hills, but a bit short.
Smokey lake Iron Horse trail (went north at first turn, so we were off trail). hit a Utility corrior that when for miles. Not to bad, but a bit monotonous. Good for newbies, packed, hilly and straight.
Red water. THis was very tedious because the trails were nothing but miles of moguls.
Ministik Lake . Its really close to Edmonton, went it late January just after the big snows, and got stuck alot. Had the kids so we just packed down a big circle and rode around and around for 25 miles. Had a great time.

There is always good ole Bruderheim
