Tree Trails 

Tree Trails is a high ropes obstacle course which will test you in unexpected ways. It’s physical, it’s mental, it’s fun.

he general trail format will most likely be determined by the initial scope of the proposed project and therefore its use. Three major formats can be combined to compose a trail system.

The Tree Trails High Ropes Course at Sugar Rush Park is ready and waiting for you to have a novel and fun experience.

The Tree Trails course is designed to provide a fun yet challenging experience for adventurers of (almost!) all ages. You can wind your way through the trees while discovering a variety of obstacles that keep your mind engaged and your muscles firing. If you are up for a fun challenge we have designed a route that provides a rewarding experience. However, if you are up for a tough challenge then continue on the course to tackle the more physically demanding obstacles. The Trails end with a fun Zipline to the finish.

Depending on your ability the trail will take you anywhere between one and Tree *(;-)) hours, including a briefing and training session.

Hiking Trail Types and Features

The Loop

The loop is popular for day-use trails because it enables easy access and parking. Hikers do not have to return on the same trail, thus maximizing interest and satisfaction.

The Horseshoe

The horseshoe, which sports two separate trailheads, can be especially valuable in areas where public transportation is available. It can also be used as an alternative to auto travel on roads where distances between terminuses are not too great. Ski touring trail development in the Mount Washington Valley of New Hampshire has trailheads at inns and restaurants in the valley that are connected by trails in the horseshoe format.

The Line Format (Out and Back)

The line format, also known as “out and back,” is the simplest and most common format for trails. It connects two points—the roadside trailhead and the destination. Good examples are fire wardens’ trails to lookout towers on mountain summits. Long-distance trails, such as the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail, are prime examples of trails in the line format. Line-style trails with high scenic value are augmented with side paths, alternate routes, and connectors to form trail systems.

Mountain bike trail

Trail centres

For experienced and newbie riders alike, the trail centre remains a favourite. These can be trails built entirely on private land or a joint venture between private landowners and a government agency, sharing resources. 

Bike parks

Like trail centres, bike park trails often include man-made trails and features that are usually created using heavy machinery. But what sets bike parks apart from your everyday trail centre is that there will be an uplift service offered, where riders will put their bikes on a trailer and be driven to the trailhead. However, bike parks usually also have a push-up trail, or climb for those who want to save a bit of cash on their entry fees, or those who are fully equipped with an e-MTB.

Linked trail conservancies

Trail centres are amazing but can be limited in terrain and distance. If you want to test the legs and range beyond your normal comfort zone regarding distance, explore a linked trail ride. These types of trails are found extensively in the USA and South Africa.

Wilderness trails

If you thrive on the challenge of adventure riding and value the experience of raw trails, there’s always the wilderness riding experience. 

Wilderness trails are those off-road routes which allow mountain biking but are unmarked and unmaintained. They are mostly traditionally hiking and portage trails. 

Natural trails

Natural trails, like wilderness trails, are unmarked and rarely maintained. However, unlike trail centres and bike parks, they're created by a single, or a small group of diggers who are passionate about mountain biking, building excellent trails and the local riding community. Natural trails are never built using heavy machinery and they use the land's topography as features.
