Kolapore Uplands

Trail Length: There are approximately 50 kilometres of marked trails.

Directions: Kolapore is located just south of Ravenna on Grey Road 2. It is approximately a 10 to 15 minute drive from Thornbury. There are four main access points for the trails. One on Grey Road 2, just south of Ravenna; one on the Osprey Collingwood Townline just west of Sideroad 10; at the intersection of Grey Road 2 and the Osprey Collingwood Townline; and the fourth is on the 6th Sideroad just past the intersection of the 10th Line. Both the Grey Road 2 entrance and the entrance on the Osprey Collingwood Townline have ample parking available.

Groomed/ungroomed: There is no machine grooming at the Kolapore trails. Trails are skied in, so expect to break trail after a heavy snowfall.

Trail fee: There is no trail fee except for the purchase of your $3 trail map at the Ravenna General Store on Grey Road 2. It is essential to your trip and all proceeds go to trail maintenance and development.

Trail Highlight: Amazing technical trails. If you are using the system in the summer, be sure to visit the caves at Metcalfe Rock.

Level of Difficulty: The trails are predominantly suited for intermediate and advanced skiers only. The county forest area is the only area suitable for novice skiers.
