Spicer/Brookside - Waterfront Trail
Architectural splendor dating back to the 1800's, campgrounds, nature trails, park attractions, festivals and a top-rated marina. The highlight of Cobourg's waterfront is a spectacular natural beach of white sand, part of 9 hectares of beautiful parkland. The park has more than a century old trees, a children's play area and a bandshell with weekly band concerts.
Asphalt, usually on residential roads, some off-road sections. Highway 2 has paved shoulders. A new section of cycling/walking boardwalk runs from the foot of Hibernia St in the east to Ontario St. in the west. There is a short break of 45 m in the boardwalk on land belonging to a private landowner. However, Trail users can get around this gap by taking Bagot to Sydenham to Durham.
Cyclists must dismount when on the Victoria Park boardwalk. Trail is a very short walk away from downtown Cobourg with its restaurants and shops. Parking; Donegan Park on D'Arcy St.
