Description:
Discover Victoria Beach through its 15.5 km Trans Canada Trail (TCT) loop. We will ride on trails through the marsh and boreal forest to the Sand Cliffs. We will overlook Elk Island Provincial Park and experience Victoria Beach’s best nature trail (the 8th to McCawley trail) to the Village Green, the bakery, Moonlight Inn, and the Federal pier. We will enjoy some of the history of Victoria Beach through its centennial historic plaques.
It is an off-road ride with some sandy portions on some trails, so bring an appropriate bike (mountain or hybrid).
