The Algonquin Spur

MapsMaps
Motorcycle riding beside a lake.
Follow one of the original paths (now beautifully paved) through Algonquin Park. Steeped in history, this route often shadows some of the original railways with one way spur lines jutting into the park to assist with the log harvest. The town of Haliburton can be your hub for exploring this legendary route.
 
Duration: 1 Day
Highlights: Algonquin Park Visitors Centre, Algonquin Logging Museum, Dorset Lookout Tower

PLEASE NOTE: Road surfaces vary from asphalt, to packed tar and chip and seasonal conditions may change or road work may exist.
