In 2023, Prescott hosted a rest stop on the Great Waterfront Trail Adventure!

140 cyclists plus support staff and vehicles visited the Prescott Pop-Ups on August 12th, and were greeted by Mayor Gauri Shankar. Bike-friendly businesses Outpost Cafe and Katarina's Coffee Shop were on hand to provide complimentary treats to the participants and the Ontario Clean Water Agency had a bottle refill station on site. Councillor Mary Campbell rode with the GWTA from Brockville to the Prescott Rest Stop to help support the ride.

Prescott's Rest Stop was voted by participants to be one of the most memorable experiences of their multi-day ride, and 73% said they intend to return to the communities the ride visited in the next 24 months.
