Park the Whirlpool Group Camping area and enjoy eight wondrous kilometres of wide-open road! When snow-free, the section of the road between the Whirlpool River bridge and the start of the Geraldine Road, is open to cyclists and closed to vehicles in spring and fall.

ATCO is undertaking work to bury electrical distribution lines along 93A starting April 1.

Spring cyclists can take extra precautions by not stopping in construction zones from Whirlpool River bridge to the start of the Geraldine Road. There may also be short-term closures for cyclists when work is required across the width of the roadway.
