Mountain Biking Trails
The Ghost Lake Riding Trails offer intermediate and advanced riders a sense of freedom and complexity in the wilderness on existing bush roads and forest trails. The interconnecting 22 km of trails run through all aspects the forest has to offer from rocky bedrock outcrops to wetlands and swamps mixed within a mature deciduous and coniferous forest. Ghost Lake is a staging lake for up to 200 Common Loons. The loons begin gathering in September, molt and are flightless until freeze up. The trails make a tremendous bird watching and wildlife viewing opportunity as they cover a great variety of habitats.
