Logging at Arkell Spring Grounds to thin red pine plantations in the wellfield concluded in March 2026.


Spring riders will have seen the changes to our trails for themselves, but we’ll summarize here too:
Post-logging, the entrance to Inner Sanctum is now from the east, off of Downwind. There is no more Inner Sanctum Connector trail.
Former trail In-N-Out is permanently closed. Please do not clear logs from this location and within the wider Operational Area; such actions are not condoned by GORBA.
Our Trail Crews have been working hard to clear logs off of our trails and restore access. Be prepared for changes to access throughout dirt season as we work in coordination with The City of Guelph.
We will reach out to the membership when help is needed. Interested in being notified when we need extra help? Become a volunteer by signing up right here on our website: gorba.ca/members/volunteer
