Trip Synopsis

Trip Synopsis

This is a 4 day motorcycle trip to Eastern Ontario and the Algonquin Park region of Ontario, with one of the highlights is doing a number of the motorcycle roads (circuits) as described in the Ontario Highlands Motorcycle Map/Guide.  .

There is also one Pinetree Line Radar site to visit at Foymont, ON, and after that I will have been to 9 sites counting this one.

This area is rich in historic railway lines as there was considerable timber and mineral resources taken from the area right up to the mid 1960.  We will be staying in Barry's Bay which still has a station and water tank, the tracks were pulled out in the early 1970's.

Of course we will be exploring the historic Ottawa, Arnprior, and Parry Sound Railway built across the Park in 1895 and removed in the 1950's.

My close friend Ben Gerard (of North Bay) will be joining me on this 1,000km travel through the spectacular scenery of Algonquin Park and Eastern Ontario, along with Morley (he is a moose) as it is his turn for a trip, plus he is from the Algonquin region and knows the area well.
