Cycling the Confederation Trail, Prince Edward Island
- 11 years ago
Prince Edward Island is the perfect province to cycle. The Confederation Trail runs tip-to-tip from Tignish to Elmira and includes 400 kilometers of excellent rolled stone dust surface for cycling.
The trail was developed on abandoned railway lines and takes you into wetlands and hardwood groves, through quaint villages and along sparkling rivers.
No matter what your game -- quiet rides in the country that provide frame after frame of breathtaking photographs, day-long tours that test skill and endurance, or bone-shaking terrain that will challenge both bike and rider, PEI is the destination of choice for die-hard and casual cyclists alike.
For touring enthusiasts, just get on your bike and start pedalling. The rolling hills, lush farmlands and postcard coastlines that keep our visitors coming back for more will reveal to you a whole new appreciation for your two-wheeling hobby.
Frequent villages along the way offer cyclists a convenient selection of places to stay, things to eat and all round service. Don’t worry if you break down -there are 25 bicycle rental shops on the Island. Also, don’t worry about altitude sickness - the highest elevation is 142 meters (465 feet) above sea level, with much of the land rising and falling in gentle slopes.
