The annual Haudenosaunee deer hunt in the Dundas V

The annual Haudenosaunee deer hunt in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area starts today, November 8 and will end December 2. The hunt will take place in two sections of the conservation area Mondays through Thursdays.

One area, which runs along Governors Road between Weir's Lane and Binkley Road, does not have any public access points or trails.

The second covers parts of the Headwater's trail between Powerline Road and Jerseyville Road West and Paddy Green Road and Martin Road.

Signs will be posted and maps are available on the @hamiltonconservation website.

Further to our post the other day about Cut the Mu

Further to our post the other day about Cut the Mustard, our new signage will indicate which direction the trail flows. Last year, the decision was made to temporarily change the trails from two-way trails to one direction to provide space for social distancing between riders during COVID-19. In addition, it proved to be a positive change for the safety of riders.

The Hamilton Conservation Authority also noted a positive change with interactions between mountain bikers and other trail users. After much discussion and deliberation, a decision has been made to make the change to one direction permanent. It was a difficult decision to make as we all greatly enjoyed the option to ride in both directions. We know that this will not be popular with everyone, but the safety of our members, our riders, and other visitors are far too important to be ignored.

Our efforts to establish new singletrack mountain

Our efforts to establish new singletrack mountain bike trails at the Hyde Tract came to a sudden and unexpected halt earlier this season due to potential conflicts with other users. We are heartbroken at this reversal from the landowner and have unfortunately put our plans on hold until we can reach a resolution. This is far from over and we are continuing our discussions and negotiations with the Ministry to push for shovels in the ground.

That being said, if you are still riding or hiking there, this week is shotgun season, so wear bright colours, go with a partner, and make lots of noise.

Though we had to postpone our Grom Squad Gage Park

Though we had to postpone our Grom Squad Gage Park Family Pump Track Party by a day, we had a great Halloween turnout Sunday morning! Thank you so much to everyone who attended, as well as to @dundasspeedshop and @theprfctline for the costume prizes! And a big thank you to our Director of Youth Advocacy, Jessie Blake and Director of Events, Melanie Poel, for organizing, as well as the volunteers.

This past spring, we ran a trail naming contest. Open to members only, the goal was to rename Devil's Punchbowl, which caused confusion with some visitors to the conservation area because it shared the name with one of Hamilton's famous waterfalls.

The new name that will replace the Devil's Punchbowl trail is….Cut The Mustard. Congratulations to the winner, Fiona Coll. This new trail name is part of our new signage package that will be going up soon at Christie Lake.
