Not really. I didn’t have an exact destination that day, the plan was to check out the trails on the other side of the bridge a little more. Mission accomplished! It wasn’t a bad place to end up, that’s like a 5 minute ride from home. I also decided to detour down wain rd to see if there was a trail at the end that could take me back to the island highway, sure enough there was one that took me through camp douglas (an old scout camp) and spat me out at the end of Parry’s Park rd.Next time I go out I think I am going to try to ride from my place in san pareil all the way to englishman river falls park. Something like this: http://goo.gl/maps/pOHu (hopefully that link works) I don’t know if I’ll make it the entire way, know of any trails from the falls that go down the river and meet with one of the lower roads there? Road riding is tiresome on a mountain bike 🙂

In reply to Simon.

Cool! Was there where you wanted to end up?

The trails seem to go forever to the left across the bridge. It meets up with a logging/forrest access road that I think goes all the way up to englishman river falls.I was riding around the area the other day, ended up at a sign that said I was 7km away from getting to englishman river falls park, after that I went down some trail to the right on that side of the bridge and ended up at the end of Martindale Rd.
