Overview
About this route
This track is the second part of a two-day tour from Vancouver, covering the Nanaimo to Ladysmith segment. Starts on arrival at the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal in downtown Nanaimo. After leaving the ferry, the track follows harbour bike paths and exits Nanaimo along Haliburton Road, then crosses the Nanaimo River and connects with Cedar Road. It includes a sidetrip on Yellow Point Road to a countryside pub. Then the track proceeds through gently rolling farm and forest lands on fairly quiet rural roads. The final (approxemately 6-km) segment to Ladysmith is on the 4-lane, divided Island Highway with wide and fairly clean shoulders. Ladysmith hill and harbour are worth exploring on foot and by bicycle.
