Cycling

Starting and ending near the spectacular Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst, this 100km loop will test your endurance. It passes by a number of lakes and waterways, giving you great views of the water and the surrounding countryside. The 169 ride Gravenhurst to Torrance is on the shoulder of a well-paved but generally busy road. There are 200 metres on Hwy 11 to get across the Severn River. Otherwise, all back roads, and the road from Torrance south to Severn River is fabulous!

Starting and ending in Port Severn, this rides got a little bit of everything and is a popular Georgian Bay route.

You will start by heading to Honey Harbour where you will take in the rocky expanses of spectacular Georgian Bay shorelines. South Bay Road is a great biking road and is freshly paved.

You will then head towards the Big Chute, the only marine railway of its kind in North America before taking the scenic route back to Port Severn.

Starting and ending in Dwight, this one is a big one! Lake of Bays Loop is a 73km route takes you around one of Muskoka’s famous lakes, passing through Dorset, Baysville and Dwight. While in Dorset, you can turn right off of Hwy 35 onto Dorset Scenic Tower Rd to see one of Muskoka’s best lookouts.

Starting and ending in Huntsville,  the Old Ferguson Road Cycling Route is a 14.17 km ride and is considered an easier track.

Limberlost “Lost in the Woods” Trail. This is one of our favorites. It is scenic, lots of rolling hills and lake views. Might even see some wildlife. Smooth turns make this an enjoyable ride. The turn down Fielddale is optional, but the road is newly paved (save one short section that has a couple of rough patches, but the scenary makes up for it). Park in the parking lot beside the fire hall.

Starting in and ending in Bracebridge, this 27km track takes you through charming downtown Bracebridge with views of three spectacular waterfalls; Bracebridge Falls, Muskoka Falls and High Falls.

This 55km track starts and ends in Bracebridge. When you are on Milford Bay Rd, instead of turning left onto Butter & Egg Rd, go straight for 500m until you reach the Huckleberry Rock Lookout Trail. This is well worth the climb (will probably have to walk your bike, it is a little steep) to see the spectacular view of Lake Muskoka. Also, you can take the trail to look at The Huckleberry Rock Cut, one of the most famous in Canada.
