The Full Frontenac XL 

Route submitted by Adrian Grant at ridegravel.ca

This route can effectively be divided into two sections. The portion north of Highway 7 is the most difficult, with greater elevation gains and more technical dirt roads and doubletrack. At the same time, the northern section provides access to a number of Crown Land camping options, allowing for shorter days in the saddle. Meanwhile, the section south of Highway 7 follows mostly well-maintained dirt and foregoes steep climbs in favour of flowing gravel roads. Which is fortunate as bigger mile days will be required, as riders will be more dependent on the availability of public campgrounds, which can be few and far between. While the southern section of the loop can be ridden on 35mm tires, the suggested width for the northern section is 45mm.

​Note: The 200km Full Frontenac (https://www.ridegravel.ca/post/the-full-frontenac-200km) part of this loop is an excellent extension to the Log Driver's Waltz bikepacking route.
