Georgian Trail
A 34-km flat lakeside greenway built on an old railway line, connecting Collingwood, the area near Blue Mountain Village and Meaford. Ideal for cycling.
The Georgian Trail was converted from an abandoned railway and runs about 34 km west from Collingwood through Craigleith and Thornbury to Meaford. The surface is smooth crushed stone with very gentle grades, and most sections follow the shore of Georgian Bay, so you can cycle while watching the lake and the Blue Mountains escarpment. Stops along the way include Craigleith Provincial Park, the Thornbury harbor and apple orchards. Collingwood and Blue Mountain Village both have bike rentals. The trail is free to use, and in winter some sections can be used for backcountry cross-country skiing.
