| Destination Canada, which markets Canada primarily in the Nordic countries, has now published their top 7 cycling routes in Canada. Topping the list is Prince Edward Islands Confederation Trail. This section of the Trans Canada Trail is a 279 km route developed on abandoned railway lines that run from one tip of the island to the other. Including branch trails, there are 357 km altogether of rolled stone dust surfaced trails. That, together with the islands pastoral landscapes, a teeming habitat and a rich heritage are what make PEI a great destination for cyclists of all persuasions, according to Destination Canadas manager, Arne Bruheim. As a multi-purpose trail it also accommodates pedestrians and wheelchairs. For a complete list of the top 7 routes and more information on the Trans-Canada Trail: www.destinationcanada.info |
