2015 Algoma Travel Guide January | Page 24

Touring Routes Experience One of Four Spectacular Tours by Car, Motorcycle or RV. Algoma is a combination of breathtaking scenery, welcoming communities, great food and fantastic accommodations. It is not surprising that the Grand Algoma Route has been named the top weekend motorcycle tour in Ontario for two years in a row! The famous Highway 129 has been nicknamed by riders as Ontario’s “Tail of the Dragon” with the miles of twists and turns that follow the Mississagi River. Beginning your tour either in Sault Ste. Marie or Thessalon, we recommend traveling north up the 129 to Chapleau, then the 101 to Wawa. Be sure to take that epic photo in front of the Wawa Goose, before heading south on Highway 17 back to the “Soo”. Get ready to enjoy jaw dropping scenery with the views on the Lake Superior Coastline! This route will give you a taste of what you can expect when you take the plunge to Ride the Mighty Lake Superior. Three States, one Province and the Greatest of all the Great Lakes - this is a tour that should be on every riders bucket list.
