Bring your bike or ride into town and stop for a great meal! Port Hope has well-maintained trails and country backroads through the hills.

Mountain bike trails and country road routes

Port Hope is a destination for cyclists! We're right on the shore of Lake Ontario with a beautiful river that runs through our downtown plus we have rolling countryside for touring. Bring the family for biking on trails that start in our heritage downtown and wind down to the waterfront and beyond. Come make a day of it!
