Cycling.
Mono Cliffs Provincial Park permits cycling on its designated multi-use trails inside 732 hectares of Niagara Escarpment; bikes share the marked routes with hikers and equestrians and are confined to those trails only. Outside the park, the rolling concession-road grid through Hockley Valley between Highway 9 and Highway 89 gives road and gravel cyclists a rural escarpment ride, and the Dufferin County Forest Mono Tract carries informal trails on a logging-road network in town.
The brief.
The Mono Cliffs designated trails are multi-use; cyclists yield to hikers and equestrians and stay off non-designated singletrack. Mountain bikers looking for the larger Dufferin County Forest network should know that the Main Tract (604 hectares with the bigger trail count) is in neighbouring Mulmur Township, not Mono — so a same-day Mulmur trip is the way to ride that network.
The road/gravel layer through Mono uses the Mono–Mulmur–Adjala concession-road grid; expect rolling-hills terrain shaped by the escarpment topography. May through October is the rideable window; winters close trail riding at Mono Cliffs.
