Schoodic Peninsula in a Day

The rental is designed to let you ride the peninsula’s loop and absorb the coastal scenery across the property’s 2,300+ acres—an ideal way to cover more ground than a hike in a single day.

THE GEAR

Choices for Every Rider and the Convenience of a Basket

A variety of bike sizes and styles are available for adults and children, and you can add a removable handlebar basket for snacks and small items so you can ride light and stop easily for views.

THE FAMILY OPTION

Equipment That Keeps Families Rolling

All ages are welcome and family‑friendly equipment—kids’ bikes, tag‑a‑longs, trailers and child seats—are offered so groups with children can cycle together on the same loop.
