Summer is Calling—Take the Road Less Traveled
As the weather warms up across Ontario, it’s not just cottage season—it’s off-roading season. And if you’re driving a capable Ford truck or SUV, there’s no better time to put it to the test.
At Formula Ford, we know our customers don’t just drive their vehicles—they live in them. From weekend warriors to lifelong 4×4 enthusiasts, the thrill of getting off the beaten path is part of the Ford experience.
Whether you’re heading out for your first trail ride or planning your next mud-filled weekend, here are a few top off-roading destinations right here in Ontario:
1. Five Points Trail System – Bobcaygeon
Located in the Kawarthas, this trail network is a local favourite. With a mix of rocky sections, muddy forest paths, and scenic routes, it’s got something for everyone. Just make sure to go prepared—it’s as real as it gets.
2. Ardbeg Trail – Near Parry Sound
Known for its rugged terrain and steep climbs, Ardbeg isn’t for the faint of heart. This spot is ideal for experienced drivers looking to challenge themselves—and their truck.
3. Ganaraska Forest – East of the GTA
Perfect for beginners or a laid-back day trip, Ganaraska offers designated off-road areas with maintained trails. It’s a great place to learn the ropes without going too deep into the wild.
4. Concession Lake Trails – Near Minden
These crown land trails offer a more freestyle experience. No frills—just raw terrain with sand, rock, and water crossings. It’s an off-roading sandbox with real grit.
5. Mattawa Voyageur Trails – Near North Bay
With over 300 km of mixed-use trails, this northern gem is ideal for extended weekend trips. Bring your gear, a friend, and your sense of adventure—you’re going to need all three.
Off-Roading 101: What to Keep in Mind
- Never hit the trail alone—go with at least one other vehicle
- Let someone know your plans and when you expect to return
- Pack recovery gear, including tow straps and a shovel
- Stay on marked trails and respect local trail guidelines
