We hired a water taxi to take us and our bikes across to Granadier Island for a cycle. We had researched that there were bike trails and amenities on the island. The skipper dropped us off on the Western Point of the island where we could start our 16km cycle of the island from. However, the site turned out to be nothing more than a forested picnic area surrounded by rocks and poison ivy! We had a 3 hour wait before he returned, so with nothing else to do, we carried our bikes over logs and fallen down trees, through the forest and around the poison ivy onto and came out of the forest on a golf course.
Not wanting to cycle of the golf course, despite it being deserted, we pushed our bikes the length of the golf course and eventually found the start of the “road / cycle path”. Unfortunately, this path is more suited to quad bikes and mountain bikes, so after half an hour of battling with gravel, loose sand a mud, we decided to return and repeated the whole process back to where the water taxi rendezvous point! We waited an hour in the hot sun for our taxi to return but at least we had the cold river to dangle our feet in and watch some fish.
