Day
White Rock to Fundy
Built on a former gypsum mine, the white rock that makes White Rock is part of this fast and fun trail network! Located in the village of Hillsborough, White Rock is a short drive from Moncton. We recommend riding White Rock in the morning, and then continuing on a coastal drive on the 114 toward Alma.
A beach stop at UNESCO Fundy Biosphere Reserve – Waterside Beach is an epic picnic lunch stop! Enjoy an afternoon rip down Whitetail before continuing homeward or checking in to your site in Fundy National Park. Unpack that cooler, get that campfire started, relax, and get ready to ride more of the Park the next day!

Day
Brookvale and BonShaw
If you have a day available to check out the mountain biking highlights of the Island, be sure to ride Bonshaw and Brookvale as these trail networks are only 15 minutes apart!
The Bonshaw trail network is just 20 minutes from Charlottetown and Borden and spans throughout the Strathgartney Provincial Park and the Bonshaw Provincial Park. The 25km of trails are perfect for intermediate and advanced riders. The Brookvale Nordic Centre is another 15 minute drive and is a mountain bike destination for riders of all levels. With over 20km of varied singletrack and a pump track in the parking lot, it’s a must ride while on PEI for individuals, families or groups. The trail network consists of a combination of flat, smooth terrain, flowy machine built trail and old-school rooty, technical riding all carved through the famous red PEI dirt!

Day
New Zion and New England
Located just under two hours from Saint John, the Minto Trails are definitely worth the day trip! Go from the rocky landscape in Saint John to the smooth-rolling sculpted hills in Minto.
Minto’s trails offer unforgettable views as you ride along the ridges of an abandoned coal mining site. You’re going to have the chance to get lots of speed on these fast, flowy trails and develop new skills on steep climbs, steep descents and trails with a bit of exposure. Rockwood Park in Saint John is a nice contrast if you’d like to combine a couple of networks within a day in central New Brunswick.
