Biking, Cycling and Triking with kids in Muskoka & Haliburton Cottage Country

Biking together as a family has a number of benefits that are good for the body, mind and soul. It is an easy and fun activity that is a big part of an extra-awesome quality of life.

Areas north of Toronto offer a chance to enjoy cycling amidst the stunningly beautiful backdrop of Cottage Country in Ontario. Trails are available through towns, old CN rail corridors and winding through breathtaking forests. There are a great number of trails both private and community.

There are some basic rules to follow when biking with children. According to the Ministry of Transportation in Ontario:

1. Protect your head, helmets are mandatory

2. Ride a bike that fits

3. Check your bike before you ride

4. Know the road rules and road signs

5. Discuss possible dangers with children in a general sense, but not enough to scare them

Know the skill levels in your family and choose an adventure accordingly. Maybe you'll need to go in separate groups if older kids want more of a challenge. Bring water and maybe a few snacks and the biggest rule of all? 

Leave only bike tracks, take only pictures when enjoying the trails!
