Forest Lea Trails
 Information
The Pembroke Cross-Country Ski
Club maintains the Forest Lea Cross-Country Ski Trails in the winter.
During the winter season, the trails are for the strict use of cross-country
skiing. The trails are on Crown land and are accessible for biking
and hiking the other seasons of the year. This network of trails will
provide enough of a challenge for the technical single-track enthusiast,
and enough easy going trails for the less adventurous mountain biker.
It is important to follow the etiquette of trail riding when using these
trails.
Directions
- To find the trailhead
of the Forest Lea Ski Trails travel west of Pembroke on Hwy 17; turn
left on Forest Lea Rd and follow the road to the end; parking for
trails is on your right.
- At the parking
lot and to the right of the Forest Lea Cross Country Ski Trails Club
House is a large map that describes the lengths and rating of each
of the routes. The trails are well marked with color codes for the
level of difficulty you can expect.
- It is important
to be responsible on these trails and follow the bike etiquette described
in the introduction to this guidebook.
Note:
These trails are under Ministry of Natural Resources jurisdiction and
subject to Ministry guidelines. Access to these lands is subject to
provincial changes.
