PERMANENTLY CLOSED

This is an EXPERT level trail system. There are no easy trails, no easy way in, and no easy way out once you have started. Please consider your skill level before riding at Porcupine Ridge.

It is with extremely heavy hearts that we are announcing that MORCA’s stewardship and access to Porcupine Ridge will be ending in the Fall of 2023 on October 31st. MORCA is hosting and final send-off or “Porc Roast” on October 21st. Rides will start at 10:00, with a BBQ lunch at 12:00 – 1:30. Please RSVP so the organizers can have enough food for the BBQ on hand. RSVP here.

The land owner has expressed that they hope to use this land differently moving forward. We have greatly appreciated the generous use of this land, over the past 26 years (since 1997!!!), for amazing technical Mountain Biking. Access to the trails for riding will end on October 31st, 2023 when these trails traditionally have closed.

Reminder: This is an EXPERT level trail system. There are no easy trails, no easy way in, and no easy way out once you have started. Please consider your skill level before riding at Porcupine Ridge.

PERMANENTLY CLOSED!

Please ensure you are following travel guidelines and recommendations before visiting Porcupine Ridge. Please do not apres in the parking lot as guidelines state no social gatherings outside of your household. Let’s do out best to keep these trail systems open and thriving!

The rocky, technical trails at Porcupine Ridge are located in the rear gravel parking lot roughly 4 km down Santa’s Village Road. Epic riding Canadian Shield, loamy forests and some fun features too!

Please Note:

There is no potable water supply at Porcupine Ridge, so please ensure you are bringing enough water for your entire ride! Please “Pack in Pack out” and use the garbage bins provided in the parking lot. Please DO NOT leave bags next to the garbage, as these will only attract unwanted animals to the area.
Currently, there are no picnic tables or benches for lunch or snack break. Bear with us, as we are working to have some in place before spring riding begins.
As this is a volunteer based club, please let us know via Facebook/Instagram/Email (info@morca.ca) OR submit a report on Trailforks if there are any trails requiring immediate maintenance, trees down, etc.
No motorized vehicles are permitted on the Porcupine Ridge trails.
Trails are approximately 10 minutes from downtown Bracebridge, with many options for lunch, coffee, local brews. Visit our sponsor page to see who has supported MORCA this season!
