Dacre - Mt. St. Patrick - Balaclava

This route follows the base of Mount St. Patrick Mountains to the village of Mount St. Patrick.

The St. Patrick Church dates back to 1869 and is the oldest active Roman Catholic Church in the County. The route crosses Hwy 132 and winds up and down narrow dirt roads into the ghost town of Balaclava.

The old abandoned mill, store and hotel in Balaclava give you a taste of days gone by.
