This is a review of our ride today at Albion. It is one of the first weekends of the year to ride here, the lack of people makes it magical.

Short Hills is just South of St. Catherines, when you look on a map or even drive towards this park you feel you are in an urban environment and even the carpark feels dirty and litter filled. As you roll down the first hill you find yourself in the wild. Maybe the odd bit of road noise but this place makes you feel like you’re in the country. Trail changes from woodland, farm, rock, steep hills and singletrack then back to fields.

I parked in the car park that is off Woodspring Avenue there is a modern archway on the hill you can’t miss. This is the Trail Forks link https://www.trailforks.com/region/woodspring-trails-33085/

This is a good spot for a ride on a wet day or if you happen to be in the area with an hour or two you need to waste.

The first visit to Long Sault Conservation Area and it was an interesting visit. Below you will find links to Trailforks and the park website. There is a parking fee of $6 and a long downhill with some interesting trails and the odd feature.
