Our group was formed in 1980 in response to the advent of the Maple Ridge Official Community Plan (Schedule F), the lack of maintenance on existing trails and the absence of essential linkages between trails.Haney Horsemen Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16222608734244698305noreply@blogger.comBlogger13125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65437057573231.post-91086115014775601072011-10-21T10:29:00.000-07:002011-10-21T10:29:50.673-07:00Trails closed.Please see latest meeting minutes (listed on the left) for currently closed trails.Haney Horsemen Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16222608734244698305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65437057573231.post-48867256259363915042011-06-01T09:25:00.000-07:002011-06-01T09:25:06.191-07:00Schull Trail closedlots of clearing and debris all over the trail.

This also applies to the South Alouette River killer crossing further east. Both are impassible due to clearing and tunneling work being done for the sewer line to the Corrections Centres.<br /> Check out these three scenarios on http://www.mapleridge.ca/assets/Default/Parks~and~Leisure~Services/pdfs/horsetrails.pdf go to map panel 3.<br /> <br />1. If you are coming from the south on the 240th crossing of the South Alouette, you are advised to turn left at Fern Crescent and right onto Mill St., then LEFT on 130th Ave a short way to How-D Trail’s switchbacks and along Shoesmith Crescent to the Ann&Earl Conn Trail north to the East Maple Ridge Trail to Golden Ears Park.<br /> <br />2. If coming from the southwest, e.g. Horseman’s Park, along 128th Ave and over Alder Crossing of the South Alouette, stay on 128th to cross east over Fern Crescent to go right onto Mill St., then LEFT on 130th Ave a short way to How-D Trail’s switchbacks and along Shoesmith Crescent to the Ann&Earl Conn Trail north to the East Maple Ridge Trail and right (east) to Golden Ears Park.<br /> <br />3. If coming from the west, e.g. Homestead Stables, along 132nd’s Fern Crescent, cut north (left) at Balsam and east (right) at Larch to 236th. Then left (north) into the Shull Trail. Stay on it past the Shoesmith Trail to the Tent Trail which will take you back around to the East Shoesmith without the rock scramble from the Shull Trail. Go left (east) on the East Shoesmith which will blend into the East Maple Ridge Trail to Golden Ears Park.<br /> <br />Each of these suggested routes takes you north of Fern Crescent and away from the Construction. Do not ride up Fern Crescent to the Park as the road shoulders are narrow and the traffic high and fast. Each route takes you over the new Millionaire Creek Bridge built this spring by HHA volunteers. Say a loud thank-you for their efforts.<br /> <br />This email was prompted by my speaking with a rider on Fern Crescent near Snake Hill who said there was no other way to get to the Park. These are THREE SAFER WAYS!
