Training Wheels (Easiest) .53 Mi. Marked with Green Signs and Stakes.  Training Wheels is a great warm up trail and beginning route. Winding through mature spruces and cedars, take note of the gazebo and stone arch bridge along the way.

On Par (Intermediate) 1.62 Mi. Marked with Yellow Signs and Stakes. On Par begins through the covered bridge and winds through maturing tree plantings. The trail continues around old farm buildings and flows along mature trees. Nice rolling hills throughout make for a great ride.

The Extra Mile (Intermediate) 1 Mi. Marked with Orange Signs and Stakes. Take this trail from On Par if you’re ready to go, “The Extra Mile” and you won’t regret it. There’s stone bridges, prairies and woodlands to explore as you traverse the land. No need to worry, the twist and turns will lead you back to where you started at On Par. Enjoy!

Red Rider (Expert) 2.1 Mi. Marked with Red Signs and Stakes. Red Rider begins straight through the covered bridge and winds through trees. Mostly an uphill climb for the first half, the trail makes a turn and begins mostly downhill run skirting a wooded gully. The trail then winds to the downhill slope into the mature woods where there’s an extra loop with sweeping views. A bridge brings you across Sand Creek then continues to a split in the trail where you may choose to take the alternate Cruncher Trail. Stay left at this intersection if you wish to continue to On Par or the back to the trailhead.

Cruncher (Alternate Expert) .53 Mi. Cruncher is a fun alternate routing to the Red Rider Trail. The trail sweeps below the covered bridge and back across Sand Creek. The trail derives its name from the steep climb back to Red Rider trail.

All ski trails are routinely groomed for classic and skate skiing. The Old Farm and Front 9 trails are double classic groomed and wide skate lane. The Hills and Woods Trail has a single classic track and skate lane. Trails are separate from the Fat Tire Bike trails.

All Ski trails are marked with colored letter signs.  They begin to the left of the the trailhead sign to the covered bridge (.25 mi) where trails split.

Front 9 Trail (Beginner Loop) 1.5 K /.95 Mi. Marked with Green Lettered Signs.  Taking you across the frozen waterfalls and through the matured spruces of the Front 9. This trail provides beginning and all levels of skiers a chance to experience the beauty of winter recreation at the Haven.

Old Farm Trail (Intermediate Loop) 3.2K / 1.85 Mi. Marked with Blue Lettered Signs.  Glide through maturing tree plantings and loop through the Old Farm buildings and antique farm equipment.

Hills and Woods Trail (Expert) 3.2 K / 2 Mi. Marked with Black Lettered Signs. This serene trail brings out the best the Haven has to offer for natural beauty! Enjoy the ice-laden waterfalls and wooded areas among the limestone outcroppings of the Niagara Escarpment. The Expert level is derived from the slopes in and out of the woods that do require skill on skis.

Woodside Trail  (Alternate Expert) 1.12K / .7 Mi. This trail is groomed as an alternate route to the hills of the Hills and Woods Trail. Also, an alternate during low snow conditions in the woods.
