The cycling in southwest Bruce County is well known by some, but still somewhat of a hidden gem for many.
Defined by the coastlines of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, and agricultural lands as one travels inland, cyclists of all kinds can find seemingly endless opportunities to explore this stunning part of the province by bike.
The road riding in Bruce County features a bit of everything with quieter, lake-side county roads and rural riding with rolling hills away from the coastline. With 13 suggested road routes, the Bruce County Cycling Routes map is essential when planning a single day or multi-day road cycling holiday in Bruce County.

Mountain Bike Adventure Park in Wiarton, w
ell known for technical riding with 20km of trails that include plenty of rollers and berms along single and double track.
