Take the Ontario Southwest Bike Train from Toronto to Windsor and Essex County and explore diverse historical and cultural attractions, wineries and vineyards, parks and birdwatching areas.

Connect with the Chrysler Canada Greenway, a 42 km rail trail that traverses the region. Ride rural roads through small towns and communities offering the quiet of nature, award-winning vintages, fruit stands and unique history.

Cycling along the north coast of Lake Erie, you'll find fresh water beaches and recreation areas. Point Pelee National Park is world renowned as a stopover for bird and butterfly migrations and is a UNESCO designated Wetland of International Significance.
