  • 2020 Summer of Adventure! LAKE HURON NORTH CHANNEL Massey to Espanola
    2020 Summer of Adventure! LAKE HURON NORTH CHANNEL Massey to Espanola 2020 Summer of Adventure! LAKE HURON NORTH CHANNEL-Massey to Espanola Celebrate 25years of trail-building and work to protect and connect our Great Lakes and St. Lawrence waterfront with the 2020 Summer of Adventure! This week we head north with a wonderful ride from Massey to Espanola. Never mind the Big Smoke. Welcome to big northern hospitality. Ride through the gentle foothills of the ancient LaCloche mountain range, experience the breathtaking beauty of the falls at Chutes Provincial Park, swim in the Spanish River, take a dip into Espanola’s Clear Lake, learn about the region’s colourful heritage at local museums. Terrain—Easy terrain, flat paved roadway. Lee Valley Road is very quiet. The 30 km between Massey and Espanola does not have any services—just lovely landscape. Distance—32 km from Chutes Provincial Park, Massey to Clear Lake Beach in Espanola. Start in either Espanola or Massey. Both have a variety of accommodations. Chutes Provincial Park is open. During Covid, it is operating with some restrictions. We suggest spending a day or two in each community to enjoy all they have to offer. With 3 beach opportunities, this adventure is ideal for the beach-loving. Township of Sables-Spanish Rivers — Massey You’ll find tranquil northern roads guiding you through the LaCloche foothills and dancing along shores of the serene Spanish River as the Trail winds through the Township of Sables-Spanish Rivers. The Township is centred in Massey, a welcoming community with a variety of excellent local restaurants and eateries, a pair of motels, a quaint craft store and coffee shop, a fascinating local museum, a grocer, one of the most generous scoops of ice cream around, and a road that is (quite literally) Seldom Seen.
