Please contact Sir Sam’s Ski and Ride at info@sirsams.com two to three days before your visit to inquire about our bike rental availability.

Reserve one of their bike rentals and cycle past hardwood forests, steep hills, grassy stretches, ponds, wetlands, and lakes.
Glebe Park
Head to Glebe Park and pedal 10km of mountain biking trails managed by the Haliburton Mountain Bike Club. Plan your biking adventure on Trailforks and choose from several single-track trails ranging from beginner to expert. Experience challenging climbs, quick descents, and rocky stream crossings on these scenic trails at Glebe Park. Make sure to sign up for an MTB membership to help support these trails.
Gravel and On-Road Cycling
Beyond mountain biking, the Haliburton Highlands are also home to a network of on-road and gravel cycling routes. Road cycling is a great way to get around without a car and access the quaint villages throughout the Haliburton Highlands. Gravel cycling routes are a more remote alternative, taking you along hard-to-access roads or paths.
