#18 Cycle Ride – Waterfront Trail St. Catharines

Route – On this ride we traverse an urban section of the Waterfront Trail with great views of Lake Ontario from Port Weller to Port Dalhousie in St. Catharines.  It goes in and out of local parks and roads, with some hills and the return trip is about 20 to 25km.  We can return via Lakeshore Rd., which has a paved shoulder all the way as shown on the route cue sheet.
Lunch/Break – In Port Dalhousie a number of our initial stop points have been removed due to new construction.  One place that looks good is on this google map location of the area is Rozie’s Breakfast Café which opens early, 25 Main Street, 905-938-0479.  Other possible spots are located along Lock Street.
Start Location – At the north end of Reed Street by Lake Ontario in St. Catharines, just at Happy Rolph’s Bird Sanctuary where parking is available.
