Trails 20, 21 & 22 Trail System

A loop of all three of these trails is one of our favourite winter cross-country skiing routes, starting at P4 and going down the south side of 21, taking the Trans-Canada Trail (TCT) to Trail 20 and along it, then looping back along the TCT to the north side of Trail 21, and then adding in a loop of Trail 22.


These trails are accessible from Parking Lot P4 on Haanel Drive, although I usually ride to them on the Trans-Canada Trail. I would describe these trails as being at the low end of intermediate level trails. The terrain is varied including a climb from the TCT up to P4. Trail 21 includes board walks over wet areas and Trail 22 includes forested areas, as well as sections over grassy areas.

A side trail connects this system to Trail 24 and the Old Quarry Trail System, with a very short ride along Robertson Road.


Trail 20 is very wet and not ridable for most of the riding season. It normally does not dry out until late July or August and then does not recover well from rainfalls during the fall. I usually avoid it, although it can be a fun ride when you include the undocumented side trail shown on the map.
