Description:
The
Corbeil Circle Tour offers an easy ride along a
rural highway, country back roads, and paved
trail. The tour starts at the Dionne Quints
Museum in North Bay and takes cyclists around the
region following the Quints' history. The
public beach on Trout Lake at Elks Lodge Family
Park on Highway 17 offers a nice spot for a
break. Farther along, another opportunity to
enjoy Trout Lake presents itself with a short
detour to the end of MacPherson Drive off of
Centennial Crescent. Enjoy the peaceful
countryside along Centennial Crescent, before
hitting the paved shoulders of Highway 94 and the
community of Corbeil. Nipissing Manor in
Corbeil is the home built specifically for the
Dionne Quints. Once in Callander, cyclists
can take the Kate Pace Way back to North Bay.
Route:
Starting
at the Information Centre at 1375 Seymour Street
in North Bay, take Highway 17 east towards
