Enjoy the quiet countryside and sweeping water views on this relaxing looped route from Napanee, along the shoreline of Lake Ontario and back. Find farms with fruit stands for sampling local goods, apple orchards and berry picking stops. Sample local wines at vineyards on the waterfront, craft brews and refreshments at a unique farmland brewery. Marvel at the rich pasture lands interspersed with a variety of agricultural buildings, interesting barns and original limestone buildings.
Ride along the Loyalist Parkway and learn more about local history at the quaint museum and information centre in the small village of Bath. Pull over at one of the many lookout stops following the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail to Adolphustown and enjoy the views across the Adolphus Reach, the main mariners entry to the larger nearby Bay of Quinte. Ride an added 4km to the roads’ terminus and see the Glenora Ferry that makes the connection a short distance across the water to Prince Edward County. Circle back to Napanee cycling the idyllic backroads around Hay Bay on the northern portion of this loop ride.
