Information
This paved tour takes you to
some of the most spectacular views in the area. The route is hilly but
well worth the climbs. The tour starts in Brudenell and allows a side
tour to Foymount, the highest populated point in Ontario, where the
dismantled radar base has been converted to a small community. The tour
takes you through Quadeville and past the famous hideout area of Al
Capone. You will travel through Letterkenney, and pass by Charlotte
Lake. Finish your tour with a picnic and a swim at the public beach
on Gorman Lake.
