The Steps Loop is 3.5 kilometres of single track suitable for riders of all skill levels. The loop rewards riders with flowing downhill sections, technical climbs and log bridges set amidst a scenic riverside location on the Barrington River. Additional features of the bike park include a Pump Track for a full-body biking workout plus The Kids Loop, a relatively flat trail around the main camping area. The mountain biking experience at The Steps offers fun and challenges for all skills levels, so parents can join their kids for a family day on the trails. Use of the bike trails at The Steps is free for guests staying at The Steps Barrington Campground/Riverview Cottage or Barrington Bike Park shuttle pass holders.
