Along the St. Lawrence

Apart from riding to work, most of my cycling these days consists of short rides with the kids. On the weekend we went a bit further afield as we were camping at Riverside-Cedars Campground, on the St. Lawrence between Morrisburg and Upper Canada Village. On Saturday we just rode around the campground but on Sunday we drove to the Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary and cycled along the St. Lawrence Recreational Trail to Upper Canada Village and back. We didn't travel very far, about half an hour to the village, with one stop to look at a deer and one stop to look in a pond, and about twenty minutes return but it was a pleasant ride. We may go back in a couple of weeks and camp and the bird sanctuay. Then we could explore the trail going in the other direction, toward the Long Sault Parkway. We saw quite a few cycle tourists riding along the highway in front of the campground. I think a trip along here would make a nice, relatively easy tour - scenic, fairly flat, lots of campgrounds so you could adjust your daily distances as required. It might be a good thing to do with the kids when they're a bit older and capable of longer distances.
Hint to campers and cycletourists visiting Riverside-Cedars: get site 300. It's not where we stayed but we discovered it on our travels round the campsite. It's the only walk-in (or ride-in) site there.
