Itineraries

Port Hope (77.9 km)

Port Hope is a charming heritage town with an excellent selection of B&Bs, shopping, theatre and restaurants, and the Waterfront Trail meanders through it. The Trail features the dedicated handiwork of volunteers that made this Trail possible including benches, bird feeders, gazebo and tributes to the community leaders who played a key role in the Trail's development-The Keith Richan Walkway and the A.K. Sculthorpe Memorial Woodland Marsh.

There is great riding in and around Port Hope and we have created a 78 km loop that begins and ends at the Port Hope Town Hall. So tune up your bike, fill up your water bottles, and take a self guided trip to Port Hope.
