Rent a Bike and Explore Cornwall’s Riverside Trail
June 28, 2022Cornwall Ontario – Bike rentals are back at Marina 200 for the summer season.
Residents and visitors alike can rent a bike and embark on a day of adventure along Cornwall’s Riverside Trail, the popular cycling trail that extends the entire length of the city’s waterfront. The central location of Marina 200 – nestled along the waterfront just east of the Cornwall Civic Complex – makes it a perfect venue to park and get rolling.
“This is the third season that we’ve offered bike rentals at the marina and it continues to grow in popularity,” said Tim McNally, Marina and Events Coordinator. “We see a mix of local residents as well as visitors from other parts of Ontario and Quebec.”
The Riverside Trail is one of Cornwall’s most popular summer attractions, and for good reason. Part of the larger Waterfront Trail network that extends across Ontario, the Riverside Trail stretches over 40 kilometres from Cornwall all the way to Upper Canada Village, with countless attractions, outdoor spaces and landmarks to enjoy along the way.
“We meet a lot of cycle tourists throughout the summer and fall and they often mention how impressed they are with the quality and beauty of our cycling trails,” said Kevin Lajoie, Tourism Officer. “The bike rental service at Marina 200 makes it even more convenient for visitors to enjoy our great waterfront cycling opportunities.”
