Route

Trail loops around the scenic Jordan Harbour and passes through a number of small communities featuring unique shops, elegant restaurants, trendy cafes and wineries. Beautiful Balls Falls is the only waterfall on the Waterfront Trail and is definitely worth a visit.

  • Mostly along paved shoulders of North Service Road
  • Closer views of the Lake available by cycling north to Lakeshore Rd. but this road is not a continuous route and requires that you return to North Service Rd.
  • Caution needed along 21st Street-a winding and hilly road with no shoulders
  • Amenities located at Prudhommes and Jordan but little else along the way.
