Muskoka is well known for its mountain biking scene with two challenging mountain bike facilities and a number of diverse trail systems that welcome bikers.
Backing onto the Muskoka River, AO Huntsville features three floors of great gear and clothing for outdoor adventure. Primarily a specialty outdoor store, with the emphasis on camping equipment, paddle sports, bikes, Nordic skis, snowshoes, and outdoor clothing and footwear.
In the summer, the Huntsville store offers canoe, kayak, stand up paddleboard and bike rentals.
Algonquin Outfitters store out of their Lake of Two Rivers location offers mountain bike rentals in Algonquin Park from May to October. The Lake of Two Rivers store is a grocery and camp store, so you can also pick up some supplies. The store is also a trailhead for the Old Railway Bike Trail, one of Algonquin Parks most popular biking trails.
The Old Railway Bike Trail is a leisurely bicycle trail suitable for families. For most of its 16km distance (one-way), the trail follows the abandoned bed of the historic Ottawa, Arnprior, and Parry Sound Railway, opened in 1896 and decommissioned in 1959. This is Algonquin Park’s easiest bike trail, and is great for families. Several interpretive panels along the route explain Algonquin’s history.

Over 15km of great mountain biking opportunities at Muskoka’s only national park. Trails and rentals are both on site.
Bicycling is a great way to help you cover more ground when exploring Beausoleil Island. The Huron, Christian and Georgian trails are open for cycling. The Huron and Christian trails offer a very pleasant ride through mature forest, while the Georgian trail is a more difficult challenge with technical, rocky sections. These trails also provide access to most other trails in the park. Bike Rentals are available at the Cedar Spring Visitor Centre on Beausoleil Island.
Biking on Georgian Bay Island National Park is a great experience for those that don’t want to be on a technical course. The trails on the Island are moderately easy and are akin to a leisurely cycle through the forest with some elevation in parts.
Getting There: The park is made up entirely of islands and is accessible only by boat. Parks Canada operates a boat shuttle service called the DayTripper, which runs between Honey Harbour and Beausoleil Island (reservations are recommended).
