It's North Bay. Lots of trails of both road and back country in this area. Check with Ontario Northland Rail for the Biketrain or use your search engine for "Biketrain".

A lot bigger. And while the areas mentioned are great for touring, other parts of Southern Ontario have tons of good touring too. You can ride from Niagra Falls to the Quebec border on "The Waterfront Trail" while not technically a trail the whole distance (900 k / 560 miles) it has some great trail sections. It follows Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence the whole way and is relatively flat . There is a 20k section of bird sanctuary near Cornwall that is amazing. In Quebec the "route vert" has been ranked amoung the best touring trails in the world, I have done from the Ontario / Quebec border to Quebec City and that section is great. A days ride north from Toronto (my home base) offers some good touring as well. The land scape changes to Canadian Shiled, tons of lakes, ever-greens, and rolling hills. Point Pelee (mentioned in the article) is on the same lattitude as Northern California. I havent been more than 2 days north of Toronto, but I have meet folks who have done the whole province and they seemed to have enjoyed it. If you plan to come through Toronto on tour please email me, I loved to meet you and help you out in anyway in can timster647@hotmail.com, I love touring, as you do too, or you would be reading this. Canadians are a slightly more reserved lot than Americans, dont be suprised if they seem a little shy by your standards!! We are just as nice as Americans, just not quite as out going!!
