North Bay Trails

 

Cradled between Lake Nipissing and a 70-meter escarpment, North Bay has an excellent urban trail system for hikers, bikers, cross-country skiers, in-line skaters, and joggers.  The City's trails take many forms including paved pathways, level walkways, and nature trails.  The Kate Pace Way and the Kinsmen Trail combine to offer 28 km of multi-use paved trails from one end of the City to the other.  The Education Center Trails and Laurentian Escarpment Conservation Area Trails give you a majestic view of the city.
