Heritage Destination

We’re only scratching the surface here, bike around, there is much to learn and experience; it is not yet a designated cycling tour but it could be. The roads have little traffic with a good mixture of pavement and hard pack with diversity of stops and distance, you choose the loops. The Heritage Silver Trail is one of the best examples of a well signed, maintained and self-guided trail system in northern Ontario. Cobalt’s hinterland yields a heritage treasure trove of buildings and scenes unlike anything else you're likely to see and ride to and from in Ontario or Canada.
