Visionary leadership and strong community support have created Belleville’s two very popular Trails -the Waterfront Trail and the Moira River Trail. The result is quite stunning. The Waterfront Trail begins at Wallbridge-Loyalist Rd and continues to East Bayshore Park. From here cyclists continue east along HWY 2 toward Deseronto passing Shannonville and Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.
Alternatively Belleville serves as an excellent staging area for a tour of the scenic Prince Edward County. From Belleville take the Bay Bridge Rd over the Bay of Quinte and turn west onto County Rd # 3, known locally as Rednersville Rd (paved with shoulders). County Rd #3 follows the Bay of Quinte ending at Carrying Place Rd. (approximately 15 km). At Carrying Place Rd, turn south onto HWY 33 (Loyalist Parkway), which takes you through the County to Glenora.
- Heading east on Dundas St, turn south on Wilkie St to check out a new stretch of water’s edge off-road trail which runs east to Palmer St behind the Whitney Place development. Exercise caution as surface is unpaved. Cyclists must dismount at underpass leading up to Palmer St. The designated (signed) Trail stops in Belleville pending improvements to HWY 2.
