The Rules

Picture
1. Don’t Ride Muddy Trails
This is Rule #1. It is one of the greatest threats to the health and well being of our trail system. Wet & soft soil + tires & boots = soil displacement. Displaced soil = erosion. Erosion = trail closure. If it is damp enough that your tires leave tread marks then please do not ride the trails.

2. Stay on Designated Trails & Don't Skid
Please keep on the trails and do not take short-cuts or skid your tires digging up the trails.  These damage the trails and cause erosion problems that volunteers have to fix.

All single track trails at The Hydrocut are designated as one way only.
3. Do Not Alter the Trails
There is an official plan for The Hydrocut that is developed by the trails committee and approved by the Region of Waterloo.  Unauthorized alterations such as short-cuts, log piles, rocks, etc. will promptly be removed.   If you have new ideas for a trail or see a section or feature in need of maintenance, contact the Trail Committee at [email protected].

4. Do not litter
Carry out what you carried in. Disposable water bottles, cans, wrappers, flat tubes don’t belong in a forest. And why not pay it forward…if you find litter left by others…throw it in your pocket and toss it where it belongs when you get home. Thanks!
5. Wear a Helmet
Please wear a helmet.  It could save your life!

7. Stay In Control​
Ride within your ability. Especially if you are new to mountain biking or The Hydrocut. Trails range from “Green - Easy” to “Double Black Diamond” with some log and rock features that require practice to master.
