Note: As we all learn to adapt to new realities associated with physical distancing and the COVID-19 Pandemic, be sure to call ahead to confirm opening hours for any of the destinations highlighted in this route.  As the situation is ever-changing, it is quite possible the information provided here is out-of-date or inaccurate.

ROUTE OVERVIEW

The Plevna Loop covers a portion of Hwy 506 and Hwy 509 and is a lovely ride of 96 km starting and ending in Plevna. The route takes you over the beautiful Canadian Shield with many rolling and steep hills. You will pass wetlands, lakes and rocky outcrops and may be fortunate enough to see wild turkeys, beavers, deer, bear as well as turkey vultures soaring overhead.  May rides will deliver blackflies in abundance and the singing of thousands of wetland frogs. During the summer it can be hot as there are few breezes on this inland route. This area shines in the fall with the absence of bugs, cooler weather, sparse tourists and brilliant foliage.

There are few places to eat or replenish your water bottles so plan accordingly and consider including a basic bike repair kit. Cell service is limited along the route; however, the locals and tourists are a friendly lot and can be easily flagged down for assistance. Plan your stops to include the ice cream and bakery stop at Crotch Lake, the Bakery and coffee shop in Plevna or the outdoor food truck/picnic area at Elphin - truly a cut above your average food truck. Locals hang out and will give you a warm welcome.  As this route is winding and hilly the traffic is generally slower but respectful of bikers.
