Information
Winding its way from one small community to the next, this is a very relaxing ride. This route is entirely on pavement with only a few hills. You leave the heart of farm country in Beachburg and travel alongside the Ottawa River. From Westmeath you can see Ile Allumettes and from La Passe you can reach out and almost touch Ile Du Grand Calumet. Take a picnic and enjoy this relaxing ride.
