Roads That Thrilling

id you know that Algoma is over three times the size
of the State of Vermont? For those of you looking for a
weekend motorcycle ride, it’s likely time to ride Highway 129.
Nicknamed “Ontario’s Tail of the Dragon”, this ribbon of road
has spectacular scenery and is renowned for curves as it hugs
the banks of the Mississagi River. Part of the Grand Algoma
Tour, Highway 129 links up to Highway 101 at Chapleau which
takes you to Highway 17 at Wawa. This trip is ideal for any
mode of travel. Be sure to take a photo with the famous Wawa
Goose, then experience one of the Top Ten Drives in Canada:
Wawa to Sault Ste. Marie. The ride between Wawa and the Soo
takes about 3 hours but we recommend you take a full day.
