Savanna Bike Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Savanna Bike Trail is a 14-kilometre cycling route that loops through Pinery Provincial Park, connecting major hubs including the park store and the visitor centre. The trail passes through a mix of beautiful oak savanna, forest, along the Old Ausable Channel and the park’s road network. It’s an easy, flat route that’s ideal for exploring the park’s core landscapes in a single continuous loop.

Old Ausable Channel

Highlight • River

The Old Ausable Channel is a remnant of the historic Ausable River that was cut off from the main river in 1875 when a new channel was created to improve drainage into Lake Huron. Today, this beautiful, calm, narrow waterway winds through Pinery Provincial Park, supporting one of the most biologically diverse freshwater ecosystems in Canada, including numerous rare fish, reptiles, and aquatic plants. This is a great spot to stop, appreciate its beauty, and watch for Great blue herons who may be quietly hunting along its sheltered banks.

Pinery Provincial Park

Highlight • Natural

Pinery Provincial Park protects one of the largest remaining oak savanna ecosystems in North America, along with freshwater coastal dunes, forests, wetlands, and more than 10 kilometres of beautiful, sandy Lake Huron shoreline. The park’s diverse landscapes support an impressive variety of plant and animal life, including many rare and endangered species, making it one of Ontario’s most ecologically significant protected areas. The park is very popular for its beaches and extensive trail network, and if you’re lucky enough to be here in the evening, you’re in for a treat, as the park is ranked as one of the top ten best places in the world to watch the sunset by National Geographic.
