Old
Railway Bike Trail
The
Old Railway Bike Trail is a terrific new family bicycle trail. For
most of its 10-kilometre distance the trail follows the abandoned
bed of the historic Ottawa, Arnprior, and Parry Sound Railway, built
across the Park in 1895 .
Campers
at Rock Lake and Coon Lake campgrounds at the east end and Mew Lake
and Lake of Two Rivers campgrounds at the west end can bicycle directly
from their sites to the eastern and western starting points of the
trail. People at Kearney Lake and Pog Lake campgrounds, and Whitefish
Lake Group Campground can also pick up the trail at its mid-point,
by cycling through the Pog Lake Campground and across the dam on
the Madawaska River.
The
Old Railway Bike Trail is a great way to spend a few hours on a
leisurely outing soaking up some fascinating Algonquin history and
scenery.
