Profiles:
Route
Architectural splendor dating back to the 1800's, campgrounds,
nature trails, park attractions, festivals and a top-rated marina.
The highlight of Cobourg's waterfront is a spectacular natural beach
of white sand, part of 9 hectares of beautiful parkland. The park
has more than a century old trees, a children's play area and a
bandshell with weekly band concerts.
- Asphalt, usually on residential roads, some off-road sections.
- Highway 2 has paved shoulders.
- A new section of cycling/walking boardwalk runs from the foot
of Hibernia St in the east to Ontario St. in the west. There is
a short break of 45 m in the boardwalk on land belonging to a
private landowner. However, Trail users can get around this gap
by taking Bagot to Sydenham to Durham.
- Cyclists must dismount when on the Victoria Park boardwalk.
- Trail is a very short walk away from downtown Cobourg with its
restaurants and shops.
