Profiles:
Route
With the exception of a short distance on Victoria Street, Whitby's
Waterfront Trail is off-road and paved. There are a number of beautiful
natural areas to enjoy, for example Lynde Shore Conservation Area
and Thickson's Woods, the last remnant of old-growth white pines
on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The Rowe House, the first mayor's
house, is open for you to explore Whitby's history. Port Whitby
Marina's Clubhouse is open to the public and is an excellent short
stop for food and refreshment.
- Soft surface off-road trail between Lake Ridge Rd and Halls
Rd
- Victoria Street is a busy road with gravel shoulders - use
extreme caution.
- Cycling on the paths through Thickson's Woods is prohibited.
- Bridge crossing over Corbett Creek.
