Lake Ontario Trek

Bike all the way around Lake Ontario on an international adventure that includes Niagara Falls, Toronto, and the beautiful Thousand Islands region. At Niagara Falls, you’ll take the Maid of the Mist boat tour and hike the stunning Niagara Gorge. Next, you’ll bike past the enormous lake freighters on the Welland Canal and swim at Confederation Water Park in Hamilton, Ontario.

You’ll head up to Toronto to visit the Toronto Islands, the largest urban car-free community in North America, then go to outstanding museums and hang out in Chinatown. Continuing east around the lake, you’ll follow bike paths and back roads to scenic beaches and beautiful provincial parks, and stay at the historic Tibbetts Point Lighthouse hostel. Coming back into the U.S., you’ll cycle along the lake’s scenic southern shore to Chimney Bluffs state park, Rochester, and the Erie Canal. The trip ends in Buffalo with chicken wings and fantastic architecture.
