Cycle all of this spectacular and magical peninsula in Lake Ontario.  Discover why travel writers are raving about this area.  Indie 88 says "​If you’re looking for a perfect, and affordable, weekend getaway this summer, look no further than the charming island community of Prince Edward County. This Southern Ontario gem just two hours east of Toronto offers up a flurry of to-dos that will excite any personality."   And from TripSavvy "With its abundance of water, fresh air, and wide-open spaces, the area has become increasingly popular with visitors, artists and Toronto residents who are buying up plenty of the property in this trendy region.  Prince Edward County is especially distinguishing itself among foodies, with the introduction of organic farms, wineries, breweries and cheese factories. Top chefs have been drawn to the area for the abundance of local goods."   Cycle through the area visited by Prince Charles and Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau in 2017. 

The area is easily accessible by car or rail from Toronto, Montreal or Ottawa.  Sample the wines of Canada's most rapidly growing wine region, the brews in from an ever increasing number of brew pubs and fresh local cuisine.  Enjoy historic villages, peaceful countryside, beaches and First Nations territory surrounded by Lake Ontario and the Bay of Quinte.  The route is on the cycle friendly paved local roads, the paved shoulders of the "Waterfront Trail" route and the newly improved granular surfaced "Millennium Trail" rail trail.
