The Sugar Bush Stomp

Route created by Eric Betteridge and Jen Adams

Lanark County is known as “The maple syrup capital of Canada” for good reason. The sugar shacks, evaporators and collecting tanks of this industry form the backdrop for  the Sugar Bush Stomp, a lively 330 km bikepacking route in  the Lanark Highlands, Ontario. Starting and ending in Almonte the route initially heads south before looping north in a clockwise direction towards Calabogie. It takes a fresh look at some of  the terrain, services and scenery that make up the Log Driver’s Waltz  and adds elements to create a challenging trajectory for the riders.  With a focus on gravel and other unpaved surfaces the route takes the adventurous rider to corners of the county they might not otherwise experience. Less than an hour’s drive from Ottawa the riders are in a different world from the nation's capital, especially as there are portions of the route without cellphone service. With short and punchy climbs and technical sections this route taxes the legs and while rewarding the rider with remarkable scenery.
