Description:

This trail is accessed by boat or land. The trail traverses bedrock, ridges, winds through forests of jack pine, trembling aspen, red maple, and red oak, giving you views of the West Arm of Lake Nipissing and Mashkinonje Island. The return portion is easier, allowing a gentle stroll along an old logging road. This trail links to 27.7 km of trails networks. 

Directions: 

From the HWY 11/17 junction near Seymour Street, take HWY 17 northwest for 44 km.  Turn left at Lavac Road, left again at Beaudry Road, and right at LeClair Road for 6 km.  Turn left onto HWY 64, and travel for 25 km until Mashkinonje Provincial Park appears on your right.
