Touring Routes
Algoma is the solution to the gnawing question : “ Where are we touring this year ?” We have plenty of reason to brag about the awesome scenery , food and accommodations dotted throughout our 28,000 square miles of Northern Ontario .
For those of you looking for a weekend motorcycle ride , maybe it ’ s time to ride Highway 129 . Nicknamed by riders as Ontario ’ s “ Tail of the Dragon ”, this roadway has spectacular scenery and is renowned because of its twists and curves along the Mississagi River . Part of the Grand Algoma Tour , Highway 129 links up to Hightway 101 at Chapleau which takes you to Highway 17 at Wawa . This trip is great for any mode of travel . Be sure to take a selfie with the famous Wawa Goose then get ready to experience one of the Top Ten Drives in Canada : Wawa to Sault Ste . Marie ( to us locals , it ’ s “ the Soo ”). The ride between Wawa and the Soo takes about 3 hours but we recommend you take a full day . There are many places to stop and photograph the jaw dropping scenery along Lake Superior , and cool must stop leg stretches along the way .

It ’ s got humbling , breathtaking scenery , tasty places to eat , bike-friendly , RV-friendly and family-friendly places to stay .
