Greetings from The Mayor Welcome to the Spring & Summer Clearview Activity Guide!

This guide is your key source for recreational programming and community events. With the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, it’s going to be a very exciting events season throughout our community as many of the signature events will be incorporating the Canada 150 theme along with a few special surprises into their regular programming.

I also encourage everyone to get outdoors and take advantage of the beautiful Clearview Township landscape. We are home to great cycling routes, hiking trails and outdoor attractions such as the Clearview EcoPark.

Stay up-to-date throughout the year by visiting our website at: www.clearview.ca or connecting with us on Twitter @Clearview_twp or on Facebook at Clearview Tourism.

Thank you and have a great day in Clearview!

Cycling Clearview-Collingwood Train Trail Difficulty: Easy Length: 14 km (each way) Station Museum, Collingwood to Station Park, Stayner Spanning from Collingwood to Stayner, the Clearview Train Trail is a crushed gravel, linear trail connecting to the Collingwood Train Trail. It follows an abandoned rail line which used to be part of the Ontario Simcoe and Huron Railway system connecting Collingwood to Toronto and was built between 1851 and 1855. Prior to its abandonment in 1960, passengers enjoyed views of the tranquil landscape along the way. Now used as a multi-use trail, hikers and bikers can enjoy this flat railbed, stopping in either Stayner or Collingwood for lunch or a break.

Creemore loop Difficulty: Moderate/Advanced Length: 60 km (loop) Start: Fisher Fields Park, Collingwood Heading counter clockwise out of the Town of Collingwood, the first portion which passes the Collingwood International Airport is relatively flat and perfect for your warm up. After crossing County Road 91 you enter more challenging rolling terrain. But the challenge is worth it, as you have multiple opportunities to view the beautiful Mad River along the way. If you are looking for an opportunity to stop and soak up the culture, be sure to take a break in Creemore, approximately half way through your ride. This town, known for it’s mouth watering restaurants and coffee shops, has art galleries, shopping and more! On your way back in to Collingwood, be sure your legs are ready for the Fairgrounds Road climb, which is a difficult but short climb to a fantastic view of Georgian bay.

BikeSouthGeorgianBay.ca Go online to check out more routes, maps and to view a complete listing of cycling events across South Georgian Bay. CycleandStaySGB.ca “Cycle & Stay South Georgian Bay” gives you the opportunity to explore and take in the sights of the beautiful South Georgian Bay region while cycling from one Bed and Breakfast to another. Create your own itinerary! Participating B&Bs are located either on or in very close proximity to cycle routes. If you are not backpacking, arrangements may be made to have your luggage transported to the next Bed & Breakfast on your itinerary (an extra charge may apply). Most B&Bs are within walking/ cycling distance to local restaurants. www.clearview.ca • Spring/Summer 2017 • 39
