Portage Trail Cycle Route

Ride the Portage Trail on a mostly paved line with a few short unpaved links. This collection strings together on-road segments, mixing quieter streets with stretches that see more traffic. There’s no fixed start or finish—hop on where it suits you and stitch together sections for the distance you want.

Surfaces are largely asphalt, with occasional rough patches, so 28–35 mm tires feel right. Because some parts run on busier roads, bring lights and ride predictably; it’s best for cyclists comfortable sharing space with cars.

Expect some ups and downs and a change of pace as you move between calmer roads and livelier corridors. Great for fitness spins, point-to-point errands, or linking into other local rides. Check conditions ahead, and enjoy the smoother stretches when the pavement opens up.
