The 12 Mile Creek starts outside downtown St. Catharines and follows the 12 Mile creek all the way to Short Hills Provincial Park. There is a network of mountain bike trails on either side of the creek, featuring single-track to gravel packed roads. This loop starts in downtown St. Catharines and travels along the eastern side of the creek until just before Glendale Avenue and carries on the western banks until it loops around at 1st Street Louth and returns back to downtown.
The trail system should only be used from dawn to dusk when there is sufficient light to see your surroundings.
Free of charge
Take care of the trails, avoid use after heavy rain, stay on the trail, do not trespass or ride on any section of the Bruce Trail. Be courteous to other trail users, cyclists yield to pedestrians.
