The area is accessible from multiple locations: Lavington (Hwy 6, Bluenose Road), Creighton Valley Road, Oyama, Lake Country (Winfield) and Hwy 33. The area is a network of FSRs, connecting roads and trails. Some are maintained, but most are not. Some are overgrown or heavily eroded. Some are decommissioned. Some are no more than a skidder track. Some roads and trails are easily ridden by newer riders, but some are more challenging. Conditions can vary greatly.
The main FSRs are easily traveled on adventure bikes. There can be some mud if wet. There are numerous fishing lakes in the area, some with developed campsites. Some of the trails, connecting FSRs and decommissioned roads can be rough with rocks and mud and are more suitably ridden on lighter dual sports or dirt bikes. A lot of these trails are very muddy with large puddles in the spring after the snow melts - some sections can be completely flooded.
I'm not defining a specific route here, but rather a collection of photos of some of my rides in the area.
There are also some hiking and mountain bike trails (not for motorcycles) in the area if you like those activities as well.
Happy riding / exploring!
