Description
Join us for a series of hikes in the gorgeous Frontenac Provincial Park! We will hike Sep 26-30, 2022 on some of the amazing trails in this park. You can hike for this entire period or just join us for a day or two, your choice.
This semi-wilderness park features Canadian Shield granite outcrops, vast wetlands, 28 lakes, mixed forests, plants and wildlife. Trails wind through rugged terrain to areas such as: Moulton Gorge, Arkon Lake Bog, the Black Lake homestead and the Crab Lake mines.
From Otter Lake, hikers and canoeists head into the interior for glimpses of osprey and kingfisher, deer and black bear, coyote, fox, and abundant beaver. Some of the many unique features along the trails include lookouts, beaver ponds, abandoned mica mines, the remains of a homestead, extensive boardwalk and rock ridges.
***Hikers are to make their own arrangements for accommodation*** PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP UNTIL YOU HAVE A PLACE TO STAY.
A favourite place to stay near the park is the lovely Snug Harbour Resort: http://www.snugharbour.on.ca
You should make your reservation ASAP because these cabins book up quickly!
Hikers will be also responsible for transportation to and from the hikes.
The hike schedule and meeting locations for each day will be provided to participants closer to the date.
