We are aware of several fallen trees along trails throughout the Township following last night's storm. Our clean-up crews are actively working to remove debris and restore safe access.

Please use extra caution if you're using the trails until clean-up is complete.

If you encounter a downed tree, please email [email protected] with its location.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as crews complete this work.

We are excited to host an inclusive accessible trail walk on the Elgin Park fitness trail on Sat. June 6 as part of Trail Discovery Day for National Access-Ability Week. Want to take part?

So wonderful that the Durham Mountain Biking Association Memorial Ride for Steve Snoddon will end at the Trails Discovery Day Event at Elgin Park! Plan to attend the event to speak to members of the DMBA about learn to ride programs, riding locations etc. With a secure, supervised bike lock-up riders can bring their bike and enjoy the event!

Uxbridge Trail Discovery Day / Steve Snoddon Memorial Ride - Saturday, June 6th

Uxbridge is celebrating its Trails Discovery Day, and the DMBA will be on-site at Elgin Park. We will be celebrating our long-time trail builder extraordinaire, Steve Snoddon, with a memorial ride of the Uxbridge town loop, many of the very trails Steve put so much of himself into.

This ride will depart from the DMBA tent at 9:00 am sharp. Please arrive a few minutes early so you have time to complete the mandatory ride waiver.

Hope we will see everyone at our Trail Discovery Day, June 6th in Elgin Park, Uxbridge! Find your new trail experience, ask experts, learn about our trails and environment, participate in guided walks, demonstrations and activities and celebrate our volunteers! Free family fun.

Thank you to our Earth Day clean-up volunteers 🌎🗑️

With about 40 volunteers cleaning up South Balsam, John McCutcheon/TCT, Barton Trail, and Countryside Preserve trails, approximately 40 bags of litter were removed from our trails.
A special shoutout to each trail captain for their efforts throughout the week, and to the scouts for coming out in such great numbers to support the clean-up!

While not everyone who contributed is pictured, we appreciate every single person who helped make a difference.
