This rocky terrain trail winds its way through hardwood forest and conifer plantations near the Niagara Escarpment with single track and wide forest access road. Visitors will see frequent outcrops of bedrock, and a diversity of ferns and wildflowers. The Bruce Trail runs through this area and is off-limits to cyclists.
This ourt displays the contrast between the west and east shores of Owen Sound, since many of the roads are not paved and because of the Land Force Training Centre you cannot travel around the full peninsula.
Enjoy the views of Geogian Bay as you ride the Blue Mountain Gondola up the Niagara Escarpment. The rest of the route is like a roller coaster, cruising downhill past agricultural lands, passing orchards along the way.
