Route
Visionary leadership and strong community support have created
Belleville's two very popular Trails -the Waterfront Trail and the
Moira River Trail. The result is quite stunning. The Waterfront
Trail begins at Wallbridge-Loyalist Rd and continues to East Bayshore
Park. From here cyclists continue east along HWY 2 toward Deseronto
passing Shannonville and Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.
Alternatively Belleville serves as an excellent staging area for
a tour of the scenic Prince Edward County. From Belleville take
the Bay Bridge Rd over the Bay of Quinte and turn west onto County
Rd # 3, known locally as Rednersville Rd (paved with shoulders).
County Rd #3 follows the Bay of Quinte ending at Carrying Place
Rd. (approximately 15 km). At Carrying Place Rd, turn south onto
HWY 33 (Loyalist Parkway), which takes you through the County to
Glenora.
