Whitby Waterfront Trail
The Waterfront Trail follow the shore of Lake Ontario from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Quinte West.
With the exception of a short distance on Victoria Street, Whitby's Waterfront Trail is off-road and paved. There are a number of beautiful natural areas to enjoy, for example Lynde Shore Conservation Area and Thickson's Woods, the last remnant of old-growth white pines on the north shore of Lake Ontario.
The Rowe House, the first mayor's house, is open for you to explore Whitby's history. New in 2005 is Port Whitby Marina's Clubhouse. This facility is open to the public and is an excellent short stop for food and refreshment.
Other notable facts: Victoria Street is a busy road with gravel shoulders - use extreme caution; Cycling on the paths through Thickson's Woods is prohibited and there is a bridge crossing over Corbett Creek.
