Shelter Valley Road Cycling Loop

This loop begins along the Waterfront Trail from Cobourg taking you closer to the shoreline at Lakeshore Rd at Grafton where you'll have commanding views of Lake Ontario and a chance to skip stones from the shoreline.

North of Hwy 401, you're into the challenging hills of Northumberland passing near to the iconic Ste. Anne's Spa, travelling alongside farmland and views over the rolling hills.

At the end of this loop on County Rd 2, east of Cobourg is the By-The-Pond Bed and Breakfast with the owners being cyclists themselves.

If you are looking to combine this route with an event, why not consider the Shelter Valley Folk Festival (north of Wicklow off of Dudley Rd) held each year on the Labour Day weekend where you can camp right on the festival grounds near their Sustainable Living Village.
