Confirmed from Bertram Lakes Singletrack Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“The trails are entertaining, varied throughout, well signed, and well maintained.”

Great trail system, with excellent volunteers who maintain trail grooming. Year-round biking! Lots of critters to see, and neat wildlife. They have a social media page too, with up-to-date info and discussion.

Great trail! this place is 10 miles from where I live and its nice having a singletrack out here. The burms are excellent and plenty of features. Great flow, you can go at a steady pace here and get breaks for your forearms once in a while. A couple of issues I would like solved one day.

★★★★☆ — Travis , Oct 2021

What a gem! Not overly technical just a lot of fun. A little more than 11 miles right now with options to cut off short of that if you want. Volunteers have done an awesome job. New spur this year. One-way traffic (counter-clockwise) keeps things flowing smoothly. Trail conditions updated regularly online.

★★★★★ — J , Aug 2016

New to mountain biking, but the trails seemed great to me. Lots of green trails with some blue and even black features. The sign by the parking lot states over 14 miles of mtb trails.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
