The newest addition to North Bay’s offerings for touring cyclists is the Voyageur Cycling Route. From end-to-end, the route spans 645 kilometres across Northeastern Ontario and will eventually connect to Ottawa. As the name suggests, the Voyageur Cycling Route pays homage to the unique history of the region; it follows the great waterways used for thousands of years for transportation and trade by early explorers and the Indigenous nations before them.
