Ontario’s Highlands introduces the newest motorcycle destination in Ontario

Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) is excited to launch Ontario’s newest motorcycle destination, Ride the Highlands. Key to this initiative was the development of four themed routes, a website for easy trip planning and over 100 motorcycle-friendly approved operators. On top of the four main motorcycle routes, a list of the Top 10 Roads to ride was created adding to the motorcycle experience.

Ontario’s Highland’s are a vast and unique landscape featuring handmade roads and bend after bend of exhilarating riding opportunities. Each route winds through many small communities that were founded in the 1800′s and tell the story of this rugged land and the pioneers who first settled here.

“Part of the OHTO’s tourism strategy is to focus on promoting the uniqueness of this diverse region,” says Nicole Whiting, Executive Director of OHTO. “Ride the Highlands does this by paying tribute to those that settled the area and built the region’s fantastic roads”.

The Ride the Highlands website launched at the beginning of May and was created as a tool to help riders plan their trips. With a historic feel, the website pays homage to those who handcrafted the windy roads that hug the terrain, making Ontario’s Highlands the ultimate motorcycle playground.
