Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Hamilton à Burlington

Kick off your ride in Hamilton, a lively city loaded with waterfall trails and a cool arts scene, and make your way north to Burlington, a lakeside town known for its beautiful waterfront and the annual Sound of Music Festival. This route is just about 32 km and sticks mostly to smooth ground—expect plenty of asphalt and nicely paved cycleways for more than half the journey. You’ll gain a bit of elevation leaving Hamilton (about 134 meters total ascent), but nothing too daunting.

The path keeps things pleasant: you’ll roll along quiet roads, easy access routes, and wide cycleways, letting you really enjoy the scenery without much car traffic. Heading into Burlington, take a breather at Spencer Smith Park right by Lake Ontario—it’s the perfect spot to finish up, grab a coffee, and maybe spot a sailboat or two. It’s a great ride if you’re looking to stretch your legs and see a bit of everything the area offers!
