Cornwall: Urban Loop

Starting from downtown Cornwall and the vast waterfront Lamoureux Park, follow the scenic and paved Riverside Trail that winds its way along the old canals that once were used for ships to bypass the Long Sault Rapids. Learn more about the marine history reading the plaques and stopping to enjoy the views at the scenic lookout areas. Ride under the Seaway International Bridge, Ontario’s most easterly bridge crossing to the USA.

Marvel at the massive Saunders Power Dam from the trail and learn more at the nearby bicycle friendly Saunders Hydro Dam Visitor Centre. Continue on the trails through fields and forest before looping east and south through the north and eastern parts of the city. Use on road bike lanes and paved shoulders for 2km to connect to the meandering trails and a peaceful ride through Gray’s Creek Conservation Area. Rejoin the Riverside Trail and ride the last few kilometres alongside the St. Lawrence River for a return to Downtown Cornwall and its numerous shops and restaurants.
