Description

Ontario’s Greenbelt covers almost 2 million acres, and is the world’s largest permanently protected greenbelt, which helps keep our farmlands, forests, wetlands safe & sustainable. Home to 2 specialty crop regions: the Holland Marsh, & the Niagara Peninsula Tender Fruit and Grape Area, the Greenbelt accounts for 80% of Ontario's peache, grape, cherry, plum, & apricot production.

One of the best ways to explore the Greenland is on 2 wheels. Follow the signed bicycle route to explore the beautiful, protected countryside. Use our online map and curated itineraries to discover lush forests, winding rivers, and family farms as you travel across this stunning landscape. Sections of the Route, such as the step inclines of the Niagara Escarpment, are challenging for even the most experienced of cyclists but leisurely rides for children or older riders are also available. The Caledon Trailway, NW of Brampton, has 30km of path along an historic rail bed and is suitable not just for recreational cyclists, but also walkers, joggers, and the occasional trotting horseback rider.

When you need a break from the bike, you can also explore the magnificent Bruce Trail or Oak Ridges Trail, as they crisscross this protected landscape.

In 2025, we’re celebrating 20 years of Ontario’s Greenbelt—nearly 2 million acres of protected farmland, forests, wetlands, and rivers that support clean air, fresh water, local food, and thriving communities. As the world’s largest Greenbelt, it’s a legacy worth exploring and protecting. Home to two specialty crop regions—the Holland Marsh and the Niagara Peninsula Tender Fruit and Grape Area—the Greenbelt grows 80% of Ontario’s peaches, grapes, cherries, plums, and apricots.

Hop on two wheels and follow the signed Greenbelt Route through stunning countryside, vibrant farms, and charming towns. Our online maps and itineraries will guide you through lush forests and along winding rivers. Whether you're taking on the Niagara Escarpment’s hills or enjoying a family ride along the 30km Caledon Trailway, there’s something for every cyclist. And when it’s time to slow down, lace up your hiking boots for a trek on the Bruce Trail or Oak Ridges Trail—just two of the many ways to connect with this protected landscape during our anniversary year!
