Beckwithのおすすめツーリングルート

Carleton Junction Park sits right beside the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail and makes an easy starting point for walks or rides around Carleton Place. The park has open green space, a paved path, and quick access to the old rail corridor, so it’s a simple spot to pause before continuing along the route. Expect steady views of the passing trail and a relaxed, community feel.

Carleton Place is a small riverside town in the Ottawa Valley, set along the Mississippi River and connected by several easy pathways, including access to the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail. The town has a relaxed, walkable centre with parks, river views, and quick links to nearby green spaces. It’s a handy starting point or stopover for exploring this stretch of eastern Ontario.

The Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail follows a long, converted rail corridor through small towns, farmland, forests, and riverside stretches between Smiths Falls, Renfrew, and Mattawa. The route is wide and mostly flat, making it great for walking, running, or cycling, with long open sections and quieter wooded stretches. Expect steady views of rural Ontario, occasional river crossings, and easy access points in the communities along the way. It’s a simple, scenic way to explore the Ottawa Valley at a relaxed pace.

A mix of farm and forest

Nice if short piece of double track. Nothing too bad -- a few rocks/logs, some sand in places, a bit of mud, puddles in low-lying ruts. I wouldn't think you would want less than 32s. It runs downhill South to North (Old Perth to Tatlock).

Highly recommend. During my summer ride, road was completely dry. I didn't pass anyone along the way but could be busy on weekends with ATV guys.

Consider good tires, but 700 x 32C should be good enough. You don't need a gravel bike for this route

California Road is a legendary local gravel riding marvel. About 6.5km long, fairly flat and rnning mostly through forest, it's an unmaintained dirt road, that can be somewhat muddy in places, some parts of the year. Features several crown land camp opportunities along it or nearby.
