Bur Oak Trails, Bird's Hill Provincial Park
Wednesday Night Bur Oak Mountain Bike Race Series Info and Registration - click here
Olympia Cycle & Ski is proud to have built and to maintain the Bur Oak Mountain Bike trails in Bird's Hill Provincial Park, a short drive northeast of Winnipeg, just a half hour from downtown.

The Bur Oak trails are challenging but not too technical, with a lot of roots, many tight turns and twists, and a little bit of undulation, so cyclists with average mountain handling skills should be able to handle the course - it's mainly a matter of how fast you want to (or can) go.
The best way to get acquainted with the Bur Oak trails is to come out and ride them, but you can get a bit of a preview by checking out the map above. Click on any of the #'s above to view a picture and read a brief description of that section of the trail.
Please note that if you follow the #'s in sequential order they should give you a good sense of the trail progression from start to finish, BUT keep in mind that the trail does NOT progress directly from # to #. That is to say that there may be many twists and turns between each #. Please also note that this map is just our best approximation. In the future we may attempt to plot a more detailed route map with GPS coordinates but for now we hope this helps.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy the great trail riding whenever the Bird's Hill Provincial Park is open, but please remember that you do require an inexpensive day or seasonal park pass available at Canadian Tire and other similar retailers.
We look forward to seeing you out on the trails soon!
