CP Rail Trail: Owen Sound to Shelburne

Roll south on the CP Rail Trail from Owen Sound to Shelburne. It’s a wide, mostly gravel, traffic-free rail bed with a steady net downhill, so it rides easy. Starting near the Georgian Bay waterfront and finishing in Shelburne’s tidy downtown, you’ll cruise past farms, wetlands, and quiet bush. Surfaces are unpaved, so wider tires help. Services are sparse right on the trail—top up water and snacks before you go or in nearby towns. A mellow point-to-point day out.
