Cycling.
Parry Sound is the western trailhead of the Seguin Trail / Park to Park Trail corridor — a long-distance multi-use rail trail running east toward Algonquin Provincial Park as part of the Trans Canada Trail. The corridor leaves directly from the Town's edge; in town, the paved Rotary Algonquin Regiment Fitness Trail loops through the parks network as a short urban-cycling counterpoint to the long-distance route starting at the same trailhead.
The brief.
The Seguin Trail / Park to Park Trail is the long-distance product — a multi-use rail trail running east through Seguin and into the broader Park to Park corridor toward Algonquin. The Town itself anchors the western trailhead, but most of the trail's distance and most of its scenic substrate sits in adjacent townships per scope discipline.
Inside Parry Sound the paved Rotary Algonquin Regiment Fitness Trail (~3 km) gives a short loop through the in-town parks network, and the downtown grid connects directly to the Town Dock and Salt Dock Park along Big Sound. May through October is the comfortable window; the long-distance Seguin Trail is most often ridden as a day or multi-day trip out of Parry Sound rather than a Town-scope ride.
