Beausoleil Island to Awenda Provincial Park - Ontario Bike Tour #2 - Day 3 of 10
This video summarizes Day 3 of my 10 day solo bicycle trip along the shores of Lake Simcoe and Lake Huron in Southern Ontario, Canada. After exploring the Christian Trail from Cedar Spring Campground over to Christian Beach, I caught a water taxi from Beausoleil Island back to Honey Harbour where I then followed the shoreline of Georgian Bay on my bike over to Awenda Provincial Park. All of the clips in the video were filmed on Sunday July 22, 2018.
Starting from Honey Harbour I followed Honey Harbour Road until it changes names to Port Severn Road. I continued through Port Severn across the swing bridge and past Lock 45 of the Trent Severn waterway, then crossed over Highway 400 and briefly followed the West Service Road. I turned onto Forest Harbour Parkway which eventually changes names to Duck Bay Road and took me over a bridge spanning the inlet into Matchedash Bay. After that I had now entered the community of Waubaushene which is part of the Township of Tay and I joined the Tay Shoreline Trail. This is a paved rail trail that's continuous all the way to Midland. It also took me past a few smaller communities such as Victoria Harbour and Port McNicoll. The trail lets out along Midlands waterfront where I could see the historic ADM grain mill. I proceeded onto King St where I stopped for lunch at Uncle Roy's Restaurant within Midland's Historic Downtown. I also stopped and bought some groceries at Maurice's Valu-mart grocery store. From there I continued riding along the waterfront and joined the Mid-Pen trail which took me up a steep hill through the woods and into the town of Penetanguishene. I rode along Main St in Penetang and then rode along Poyntz St and Owen St before rejoining the waterfront trail. Rather than taking the most direct route from Penetanguishene to Awenda I instead followed Champlain Road all the way around to the North East entrance into Awenda Provincial Park. This allowed me to experience more of the Georgian Bay shoreline as well as took me past a spot where I could look out across and see Beausoleil Island where I had come from earlier in the day. When I arrived at Awenda Provincial Park I proceeded to to the gatehouse and purchased a camping permit for a campsite within the Snake Campground. Due to all the rain that I fallen on me during my ride on this day, I elected to not go for a swim in the lake after my arrival.
Strava for Day 3:
The bike I used for this trip is a New York made Linear Recumbent Bike which I believe is from around 2004. I carried my gear in 2 Giant Waterproof Panniers, and mounted my tent and sleeping pad on the top of the rack.
