CYCLING BUSINESSES

Known for its exceptional cycling through scenic backdrops, and within an hour-and-a-half drive from the Greater Toronto Area, thousands flock to the area each year.“ The cycling is amazing up here, but it’s also not too far of a drive from Toronto so it’s not unrealistic to come up for two days or just come up for the day,” notes Brendan Matheson, experience development coordinator for Tourism Simcoe County. “The fall colours are beautiful. All of the concession roads in Oro-Medonte were once dirt roads so they’re low traveled and there is a low volume of traffic. Now, they’re paved so they’re enjoyable to cycle on.” With its rolling hills and roads canopied with brilliant oranges, vivid yellows and blazing reds, there are very few sights as spectacular as Oro-Medonte in autumn.

Trails

With thousands of acres of forests, Oro-Medonte is dotted with hundreds of kilometres of trails for outdoor recreational use. One of the highlights is exploring the trails beneath the high tree canopy in Copeland Forest. At 4,400 acres, it’s the largest intact forest south of Algonquin Park with no roads going through, which means it’s safe for dog walking, horseback riding and mountain biking. “I love walking in the fall. The middle of September until the end of October, the colours are beautiful,” says David Kennedy, chair of Copeland Forest Friends. “In the winter, it’s peaceful and quiet. Snowshoeing the hilly area is fun but there’s also flatter ground accessed off Ingram Road.” Five designated parking lots, as well as 22 access points makes it a convenient way to spend a few hours – or days – enjoying nature.

HILLS OF ORO-MEDONTE TRAIL

This tour through Oro-Medonte is both challenging and beautiful. This route begins on the quiet Bass Lake Sideroad, but don’t get comfortable, because once you turn left on the 7th line the hills begin.

For a rest, stop in the town of Moonstone for a quick snack before descending Moonstone Road, towards the 10th Line.
