Discover Bike Wentworth: Nova Scotia’s Next Big Mountain Bike Destination

What makes Bike Wentworth the must-ride bike park in Nova Scotia?
Bike Wentworth brings a fresh and exciting option for mountain bikers across Atlantic Canada, combining lift-access terrain, varied trails, and stunning Nova Scotia scenery.

Bike Wentworth is quickly becoming one of the premier bike parks in Nova Scotia. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider, it offers a unique chance to challenge yourself to biking in Nova Scotia like never before.

A New Era for Bike Parks in Nova Scotia

Launched in summer 2024, Bike Wentworth is Nova Scotia’s only lift-accessible downhill mountain bike park. (Tourism Nova Scotia) By mid-2025, the park offers over 40 km of downhill trails across two primary zones: the Climb Zone and the Lift Zone. (Bike Wentworth)

Previously, mountain bikers in the province had limited options for downhill and lift-assisted riding. Bike Wentworth fills that gap, making it a trailblazer in the Nova Scotia bike parks landscape. (Tourism Nova Scotia)

Zones & Trail Offerings: From Climb to Lift

Bike Wentworth’s layout is thoughtfully split into zones to suit different riding styles:

• Climb Zone (North side): Riders pedal uphill on a network of smooth treads, berms, and rollers to reach trailheads. Access is via trail climbing (no lift) and requires a valid pass. (Bike Wentworth)

• Lift Zone (South side): The lift carries riders back up, allowing repeated descents and focus on downhill features. Trails range from green flow lines to technical black runs. (Bike Wentworth)

Sample Trails & Features

Here are a few highlights:

• Connector (Lift Zone): ~1.8 km link trail. (Bike Wentworth)

• Schooner: ~4.3 km descent. (Bike Wentworth)

• Sonny’s Delight, Launchpad, Oh Baby!, Hillbilly, Number 9 and Outer Limits—a mix of flow, jumps, and technical sections. (Bike Wentworth)

• On the Climb Zone side: trails like Hakuna Matata, Marmalade, Paradigm, Baseline, Kitchen Party and others. (Bike Wentworth)

New green flow trails were introduced to make uplift trails more accessible for novices in 2025. (Bike Wentworth) Plus, upgraded connection trails from the North side (Henderson Brook exit) add variety. (Bike Wentworth)

Trail totals recorded in MTB management systems show ~31 trails in the Bike Park region. (Trailforks) TrailForks maps the Wentworth region with 48 trails total in the greater area, though not all are downhill park trails. (Trailforks)
