Hayterdale Trails uses Trail Forks to map and plan our routes. This allows riders to download the routes onto your phones via the Trail Forks app or onto you compatible Garmin devices. We encourage the use of this app because although we try to keep the trails well marked, there are circumstances that we can’t control that sometimes temporarily obscures or removes the markers. This post will explain the basics of using Trail Forks and explain how to download the routes and save them on your phone.
