Keeping children safe and healthy Your cycling adventure begins in Halton Halton is a destination for cyclists looking to stay active while enjoying our beautiful community. The region offers many on and off-road options to explore. From leisurely rides along the Lake Ontario waterfront to challenging routes across the Niagara Escarpment, there is something for everyone. If you would like to experience Halton by bike, I encourage you to check out our cycling map to plan your next ride. It highlights eight routes of varying intensity--ranging from 36 to 100 km in length--as well as bike- friendly services and amenities you can visit along the way. While many Regional roads feature off-road multi-use paths and dedicated on-road bicycle lanes, I would like to remind motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to stay safe and share the road.
