Description:
The
Ahmic Lake Route allows cyclists to explore the
quiet country back roads around Ahmic Lake.
The route is laden with picturesque scenes along
the Magnetawan River and Ahmic Lake. The two
small village hamlets of Magnetawan and Ahmic
Harbour present cyclists with all of the amenities
needed to make a day of this enjoyable trip around
the lake.

Starting
at Ahmic Harbour, travel along Ahmic Lake Road,
past the narrows of Neighick and Crawford
Lakes. Follow
Ahmic Lake Road until you meet up with the Old
Nipissing "Ghost Road" at Spence. Turn

enjoying beautiful Ahmic Lake along the way. Follow
Nipissing Road through Magnetawan to Highway 520 traveling

little further along, Fagan Falls also drops into
