Mosaic Forest Management and the United Riders of Cumberland (UROC) wishes to advise users of the trails in and around BR524, A900 and A3100 (highlighted in red) that road building activities are planned to begin June 23rd, 2021. Road building activities are expected to be underway for approximately nine weeks and harvesting activities are planned for 2022.
The vast majority of the Cumberland Trail Network is on private industrial forest lands, with the remainder of trails on forest/watershed and/or park lands owned by the Village of Cumberland. The land owners have agreed to allow for trail building and trail use on these lands, but under the expectation of certain rules, requirements and processes including solid management plans and sufficient insurance coverages. After years of discussions and advocacy by UROC, the Cumberland Forest Trails agreement (the “Agreement”), a first of its kind agreement established by the United Riders of Cumberland (UROC) and the land owners in 2016, created a unique solution that allows the public to recreate on private industrial lands that had been previously closed to recreational use.
We did it! The Climbing trail is complete and open for use.
The United Riders of Cumberland (UROC) completed the five-kilometre climbing (ascent only) trail, which allows users to access the upper part of the trail network without having to travel on resource roads.
You will be excited to hear that the middle section of the climbing trail is open for your riding pleasure! Check out these sweet photos from the contractor, Workhorse Trail Design.
There have been some questions and discussion recently about why certain features have been removed or replaced, so we are taking the opportunity to share some information about the rationale behind these kinds of decisions. This post is a little long but we hope it provides some helpful context.
