Maps for the CyclistThe maps presented here have been de-signed with the cyclist in mind. You can ride in a group or alone.A summary table of all routes including se-lected ones in Quebec is provided.Road categories are shown as paved and gravel on the maps. The white dashed line in the road indicates pavement. Town streets are paved. A perfect introduction ride is the STATO trail which is a designated bikeway running along Lakeshore Road from New Liskeard to Haileybury (Temiskaming Shores) for 19.4 km.There are touring routes radiating into the countryside. A favourite one is Twin Lakes, No. 9. There are optional starting points.Cobalt is internationally famous as the birthplace of hard rock mining and was the leading mining camp for silver. It spawned a whole mining industry. There are many mining features to explore. The under-ground mining tour should be on your list. The routes radiate outward from the town, even out to the summer trails at the Nordic Ski Club. A great autumn leaf experience.

The District of Temiskaming and in particular, South Temiskaming, is where the Little Claybelt lies. The glacial lakes retreated eventually, leaving a rich clay soil that is now the basis for a successful northern agricultural area. The bicycle routes take advantage of the flat and undulating landscape. The numbers shown on the key map indicate a single route and the box is the area covered. Each route has its own descriptive content.

EDWARD ST

The South Temiskaming Active Travel Organiza-tion (STATO) was the first ambitious start in estab-lishing a separate urban trail system connecting historic Dymond, New Liskeard and Haileybury.The New Liskeard node is an excellent starting point for riding south along the STATO trail and also for countryside journeys north of New Liskeard. The Waterfront Pool & Fitness Centre has a few tricycles for rent – ideal for seniors. This stretch of trail along the waterfront is particularly suited to family cycling. A separate path will appeal to walk-ers and joggers.The STATO trail contin-ues south and meets up with the road with a sep-arate path on Lakeshore Rd. It arrives at the Hai-leybury waterfront and continues onward to Farr Park.You can also get all the way to Dymond taking the newest section of the STATO trail behind the mall leading to Grant Drive.

The area north of Wabi Bay provides a good cross section of Claybelt agriculture and when rounding the lake, Dawson Rd. once again, is a relaxing ride on good pavement. Harris Twp. has its share of forested land to the east.Half the route lies in Temiskaming Shores and the other is in Harris Twp. which is an incorporated municipality.

Whitewood Ave lookingtoward lake & historic hotel

Whitewood Ave. (1.9 km) is one of two main roads that cross each other in the centre of town. The other is Armstrong Street.This is the business hub of his-toric New Liskeard. You may want to visit the interesting stores along this stretch. Traffic moves slowly. If you are leaving the Waterfront Pool & Fitness Centre, you can also use Farah Ave. – a pleasant residential Street takes you to Edith St. At the lights, you are on Whitewood.There is another shortcut off Shepherdson St. that offers ac-cess to the Lookout on Hwy 11. It is a snowmobile & ATV trail. The view provides a good idea of how the Little Claybelt fans out from the head of the lake at New Liskeard as shown in the photo.

7. New Liskeard to Elk Lake (James Twp)Difficulty: moderate (some hills) • Distance: 65.9 km (1 way) • Surface: paved • Start: Waterfront Pool and Fitness CentreThe Elk Lake route is one of our lon-ger routes that takes you through 6 townships – the last being the Mu-nicipality of James that embraces the town of Elk Lake.Hwy. 65 W has long stretches of flat roadway. Good to make time on.Scenery is generally agricultural and forests. Land clearing is still going on in this area as you are at the edge of the Little Claybelt.The Montreal River is actually a geo-logical fault line.Well maintained washrooms are lo-cated at the bend in Barber Twp.

8. Historic Pete’s Dam ParkDifficulty: moderate (one steep hill) • Distance: 4 km (loop) • Surface: gravel • Start: Pete’s Dam parking lot

A Short HistoryIn the spring of 1906, Kalil (Big Pete) Farah embarked upon a proj-ect to build a steam power plant that would supply the Town of New Liskeard. Big Pete bought the power site at Chester Falls from Tom Chester and a dam was built above these falls on the south branch of the Wabi River. In 1910, Farah sold Pete's Dam and its assets to the Northern On-tario Light and Power Company. New Liskeard then received its power from the line that linked them to Cobalt, its neighbour to the south. The exact date the power plant went out of service is un-known, but it is believed that it was in the 1920's.The Northern Ontario Power Company sold its assets to the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario which included Pete's Dam.In 1981, Dymond Township (now Temiskaming Shores) bought the property and it is now known as Pete's Dam Park. The little electric plant no longer exists but the beauty of the waterfall and rapids draws many locals and visitors for picnicking and hiking.

One of the best little parks in the rural area of Temiskaming Shores. It offers a winding picturesque walking trail to the down-stream location of a historical feature. The running water over the rapids make for a pleasant backdrop. It is a popular place to cool off on a hot summer’s day.This is more of a technical mountain biking experience with some single and double tracks. You can do multiple loops within the park if you are on a bike or venture off from there on the country gravel roads to Rockley or Twin Lake (See Map 9).Note: Along the main trail, you will encounter the Miller Group Bridge – you will have to walk your bike up and down the steps.

10. Clover Valley / Sunnyside Road Difficulty: advanced (some hills) • Distance: 14.3 km (loop) • Surface: mix of paved & gravel • Start: Haileybury Waterfront

When riding on the STATO (1) trail, you might want to make a longer loop version.From Haileybury, take the steep climb from Main Street to West Road, past the Haileybury Heri-tage Museum, and then level off to reach Clover Valley Road. The descent into Clover Valley is hobby farm country. Ride past horses in their paddocks. There is a bit of an incline in the road until you turn on Sunnyside Road. Then, a love-ly tree lined downhill ride from this point.Cross over Lakeshore Drive to the STATO Trail again. From there, come back to Haileybury, or go left to finish at New Liskeard’s Waterfront.

13. Quarry Road ConnectorDifficulty: easy • Distance: 5.6 km (1 way) • Surface: gravel • Connector route

The quarry was owned by C. C. Farr, the founder and first mayor of Haileybury. Remnants of the historic quarry still ex-ist. Limestone for the first cathedral in Haileybury came from this quarry. The 1922 Fire destroyed this church.Long distance riders familiar with local routes, may want to

come off the STATO trail, cycle up the short incline and con-tinue along the quiet road to meet route 16, or travel south to Cobalt on Route 17.The reverse, from the south, provides a quick access to the STATO trail for a complete loop.

15. Farr Cemetery / Mill CreekDifficulty: easy • Distance: 1.8 km (1 way) • Surface: gravel to cemetery • Start: Farr Park

Farr Cemetery, named after C. C. Farr, has a special place in the history of the area. It was the first cemetery established when this area was beginning to be settled. A circular layout is the focus. It has a convenient sheltered bench for visitors.There is a dirt trail following Mill Creek – nice for technical riding.Another gem is the trail leading down from the cemetery to the mouth of Mill Ck. An archaeological site was investigated a few years ago demonstrating use, first by First Nations and then by others.An ancient portage route followed the creek.There is a natural falls half way along the creek that was the site of Piche flour and sawmill built in the late 1890s.Logs were floated down Mill Creek from Cobalt Lake. A wooden raceway was built to get the logs down to the mouth of creek. Here they were collected (boomed) for their jour-ney down Lake Temiskaming (Ottawa River) and onto the big Ottawa mills.This area is dog friendly as the City allows your dog to run freely.There are two natural locations along the creek – one is the falls where the first grist mill was built and a second is the bend where you can relax and be at peace with nature.

Bend in Mill Creek - a place to sit and contemplate

First Nation people have been

using Mill Creek for hundreds of

years. During the fur trade period,

they would often use the creek

and portage route to reach the

Montreal River.

There is a protected archaeologi-

cal site at the mouth of the creek.

Later, during the timbering era, a

wooden raceway was built to float

the cut logs over the dam to the

mouth where they were gathered

or ‘boomed up’ for their trip down

Lake Temiskaming.

That’s one reason the Cobalt Mining District National Historic Site was established. The area is a favou-rite outdoor laboratory for geology students from many uni-versities and numerous rock hounds.The town has a distinct geographic flavour to it. On the west side, small houses are perched on the sloped rock. It sprang up almost overnight after silver veins were found in 1903 as the railroad was being constructed. It was a rough and ready place.The historic Right-of-Way Headframe is one of the remaining headframes that links one to the mining past. The name orig-inates because the mining tunnels (drifts) actually ran under the railway – and they are still there, although all flooded in now. The headframe has been restored by the Historical Society of Cobalt.A headframe is a mining building with a hoist and cage sys-

tem that operates vertically. The hoist machinery was located separately back from the main shaft building with cables run-ning at an angle, thus giving the unique headframe shape.Cobalt’s mining history is reflected in a few standing head-frames and mill ruins. For 2021, the Larose Bridge will be closed for reconstruction. Begin your tour at Hwy 11B Cole-man Rd. as shown on the map.On your route, you will see the great Nipissing hill, panoram-ic views across the lake, deep rock cuts that followed the original silver veins discovered in 1903. You can also access Nipissing Hill lookout platform by walking to it.Look for the lake monster at Cart Lake.There is plenty more to see and do in Cobalt such as the Mining Museum. It has a special treat in its guided under-ground mining tour. Touch the walls that old miners made. Feel the cool temperature in the workings.There is also a gem of a military museum called the Bunker.

Thornloe Cheese - a definite favourite destination or rest stop for hungry cyclists

The Great Fire of 1922“On October 4, 1922, scattered bush fires which had been burning for some days

north of Haileybury were united by strong winds into a holocaust which spread over

most of 18 townships and took an estimated 43 lives. Burning out of control between

the Englehart and Cobalt areas, it destroyed the communities of North Cobalt, Charl-

ton, Thornloe and Heaslip, while Englehart and New Liskeard were partly consumed.

The thriving town of Haileybury was razed except for a few buildings on the shore of

Lake Timiskaming. On the night of October 5 the wind dropped and snow and rain

helped extinguish the fire.

A massive emergency relief programme helped to restore the economy of the area.”

24. Hilliardton / TomstownDifficulty: easy • Distance: 24 km (1 way) • Surface: mix of paved & gravel • Start: Thornloe Cheese Factory

Route 24 option extends your ride up to Tomstown along Regional Rd. 569 – a quiet almost pastoral setting all the way. Hilliardton was once a pio-neer village at the Blanche River. A steel bridge is at this point. You will see the river’s clay colour that comes from the ‘Claybelt’ soil – hence the French name for white.The Hilliardton Marsh Research & Education Centre is a destination in itself during the spring and summer.

25. Elk Lake to MatachewanDifficulty: advanced • Distance: 37.4 km (1 way) • Surface: paved • Start: Elk Lake general store

This route really gets you out in the Boreal forest country and offers more of a remote feeling. Hwy 65 W is paved all the way with enough paved width to make this a navigable journey. Traffic is usually low. There will be some commuter traffic when the shift changes at the gold mine in Matache-wan. A clean rest stop with washrooms is on the west side of the highway.An optional side trip halfway along the route will take you to a major hydro dam on the Montreal River. It’s worth seeing if you have the time.

Matachewan’s origins were its strategic position on the Mon-treal River portage. You can cross the bridge and turn right and take a break at the water’s edge where you can imagine the native canoe travel from thousands of years ago and up to the 19th century fur trade.Continue past the bridge along Regional Rd. 566 and get a glimpse of the gold mine which is in full production. On the way back, take a photo at the small turn off to see the town. There is a waterfront park you can also visit and a well-stocked gas & general store in town.

Some might say, Regional Rd. 66 is the loneliest highway in South Temiskaming because you can ride for long stretches without seeing any vehicles. Whether you start at Matache-wan or Kenogami, the experience along the ride is the same.

This road slices through pure Boreal forest. Midway you will intersect with the Englehart Fine Sand Plain & Waterway Provincial Park. There are no facilities within the park.

The ride can be very contemplative because of low traffic and the remote scenery. You may see some Amish horse and buggies on the road as you leave Charlton. Soon you will be riding along a stretch of the Englehart River. The rest of the ride will be through pleasant country-side.

The area north of Englehart has a variety of land-scapes with large forest tracks mixed in with agri-cultural fields.Marter Rd. brings you straight north. Cedar Dr. is a gravel road with undulating hills. Residential hous-es are sprinkled along this section. Regional Rd. 624 is a paved smooth ride back to Englehart.Riding to the dam offers a unique scene with cas-cading water over worn rocks. Getting there is a challenge since a section of road is rocky. If you have the stamina, it can be worth the effort. Picnic on the flat rocks.

31 & 32. Notre-Dame-du-NordOption A (31): Difficulty: easy • Distance: 15km (return) • Start: Fossilarium • Surface: pavedOption B (32): Difficulty: moderate (some hills) • Distance: 50km (loop) • Start: Fossilarium • Surface: paved

If you want to avoid riding the big Hwy 101, just ride the paved roads within the Récré-Eaux des Quinzes system and come back the same way. Cross the huge dam for exciting river views. The northern section winds past a scenic dam at the Riviere des Outaouais (Ottawa River). Riding the full loop requires riding on Hwy. 391 which is generally quiet as well as Hwy. 101 for 5 or 6km. For extra mileage, you could venture on the twisty beautiful ride into Angliers.You will soon experience the French culture as a visitor to Quebec. The First Nation community is prominent. Visit the dock area for a scenic view of the lake. Another big hit is the local Poutine at the Roi de la Patate.
