Ganatchio Trail, Windsor

Smooth, flat, and easy—this is Windsor’s classic waterfront ride. The Ganatchio Trail is a paved multi‑use path running through the city’s east end toward Lake St. Clair, with long stretches of dedicated cycleway and only a couple short links on quiet roads. It’s great for all riders, from casual spins to family outings.

Expect park stops, water views, and lots of room to cruise. You’ll pass spots like Sandpoint Beach and Lakeview Park/Marina, with connections into the Little River Corridor if you want to add a nature loop. Weekends can be busy with walkers and runners, so bring a bell and take it easy at crossings.

The route is basically flat, well surfaced, and rideable year‑round. Aim for mornings or evenings for calmer winds off the lake. Parking and washrooms are available at nearby parks, and there are cafes and snacks along Riverside Drive. Want more mileage? Keep rolling west along the waterfront paths toward downtown Windsor and views across to Detroit.
