Lake Eugenia – Collingwood Gravel Loop a Gem of a Ride

A gravel specific 90km advanced route that is a modification of the famous Lake Eugenia road cycling loop.  The gravel version starts off at The Highlands House, meandering through gravel and paved farmlands before coming to Lake Eugenia.  Jump into the lake and cool down before heading into the headwaters of the Beaver River an on to Kimberly for a well deserved lunch.  You’ll need all the energy you can muster for the 7B climb out of Beaver Valley and onto the gravel roads that follow the top of the Escarpment.  Continue down to Collingwood with optional stops at Currie’s Farmers Market, The Summit Coffee Shop or the Nottawa General Store.  The final section takes you out along the Georgian rail trail before heading west one a legendary 5km climb that ends right at The Highlands House.
