Cycling day trip from Mississauga to Burlington

Kick off your cycling adventure in the bustling suburb of Mississauga, a family-friendly city known for its beautiful parks and diverse population. From here, you’ll set off on a roughly 45.6 km journey to the scenic waterfront city of Burlington.

Get ready to pedal through a mixture of cycleways and quiet roads that make up the majority of this ride. Despite a couple of small hills totalling about 183 meters of ascent, it’s a fairly gentle route, with lots of smooth asphalt under your tires—perfect for soaking in the surroundings without being too tricky.

As you continue, you’ll cross into Burlington. Known for the Royal Botanical Gardens and its view of Lake Ontario, it’s a lovely city for a leisurely exploration after your bike ride. Along the way, you’ll spend most of your time on safe, dedicated cycleways, with only brief encounters with busier roads. This route is a delightful combination of urban exploration and breezy open-road cycling.

Remember to bring plenty of water and maybe a little snack for the road, and you'll be set for a fantastic adventure. Happy cycling!
