This 4.5km trail runs deep into the Ontario forest where the sound of traffic stops and the gentle sounds of the forest awaken your senses. The gentle slopes of this path make for an easier journey, but the distance traveled makes you feel detached from it all.
Fern Valley Lookout Point
This relaxed 4km trail has an optional lookout loop overlooking the lake and beach. The summer ferns, gentle hills, and tall trees help you create a great memory no matter the season, and the lake itself is perfect for swimming. You may want to grab a day pass and go for a swim at the sandy beach.
NESTOR FALLS
Red Pine Trail
This maze of trails takes you through such varying landscapes and views from thick red pines, massive boulders, and beautiful views. The optional long 3km loop around the perimeter lets you see every view, and takes you deep into the forest. You will get back to the trailhead with many memories and a smile.
Boreal Trail
This trail’s long distance, steep hills, and obstacles make for a very challenging hike or ride but with incredible vistas. There is a shortcut that makes a smaller loop, but it still carries the signature difficulties. Either way you choose, it’s a memorable and beautiful trail any season.
