Amishland and Lakes, bicycle tour visits a world where lifestyles have remained almost unchanged for over a hundred years. On Saturday the routes range from 25 to 100 miles, offering smooth, quiet roads, where buggies are numerous and cars are few.There's wide open spaces clean country air, friendly people and lots of great food. There's plenty to explore, experience and ....eat. A.L.L. is famous for great sag food (watermelons, peaches, blueberries, bananas and fresh baked cookies), and there are Amish bakeries, restaurants and homemade ice cream parlors along the route for riders who want to "get a taste of the local flavor".

On Sunday there's a choice of a nearly hill-free 30 mile route, a 52-mile main route with smooth and lightly traveled roads over rolling hills, through wooded areas and past numerous lakes, and a 62-mile route. All routes pass through Pigeon River Nature Area. Animals living in the marshes along the Pigeon range from chipmunks to deer. During the summer the preserve is home to birds of every description from songbirds and waterfowl to the majestic Great Blue Heron. Several bald eagles have been reported in the area in the past few years and possibly a few lucky riders will get a chance to see one of these magnificent & elusive birds in flight.
