I can only speak to the few times that I have been therein the past few years, but I’ve never had a bad experience. The the trails were dry and fast today. I would highly recommend speaking to @SQUATCH or @rmacgregor9 or any of the Truro crew, but, from my experience this and last years, its a great trail system.

Same. Ive only been twice but today was a blast. In my opinion its the best system we have within an hour driving time from hrm.

Second that! I live in Halifax and often pick The Railyard (Victoria Park) over Empire. It’s a similar length drive to each system, but The Railyard has so much more trail available with minimal overlap. Nothing against the Empire Trails, I always have a blast whenever I go there; but I usually go to The Railyard instead just because of the variety, quantity, and quality of trails.
Edit: @SQUATCH is a great guide!

Thanks!
heading to the Vic for the first time tomorrow. really wanna ride this new jump line. other then that what are some other trails or areas at Victoria Park I should check out?
If you’re going to the jump line, I’d recommend checking the newly opened section of Cooked, Trash Talkin, McCabe’s Loop to get to the Callus Cut, and from there to McCready’s Trail, Treesum, and then spin your way around the Reservoir Trail as a cool down. If you still have life in your legs, find your way to The Hawk / Hawk Express or whatever it’s called. Some of the local riders can probably give you a proper ride log to follow, but those are some of my fave trails in there.
