Looking for an outing that's not too long, not too complicated, starting from Magog? This course is ideal if you have about 1 hour to spend on the bike in the Eastern Townships. The climb to Orford is still not to be overlooked with its ~200m of positive altitude difference, but the return is all downhill.

We suggest starting your ride near the Plage des Cantons in Magog where there are several parking lots (for a fee) nearby. While downtown Magog is quite busy in the summer, this place is a fairly central point and easily accessible regardless of the season and tourism.

• Bowen Cafe/Snack Bar : One of our favorite places in the region. About 20km in, the café will be a few meters away from you before turning right on Chemin du Parc in Orford.

The trip can be done from one side or the other. It can also be extended by going to take the Park Path and do the complete tour. This loop will approximately sum up to 31 kilometers and 332 meters of positive altitude difference.
