This is a special, 7 day, 6 night trip to Frontenac Provincial Park. This special hiking event is a series of loop hikes called the Frontenac Challenge held in Frontenac Provincial Park. Frontenac Provincial Park is about 3.5 hours from Toronto. The 11 loops are 1.5km to about 27km including the trail to access the trail head. Accommodation is at Snug Harbour Resort, a short distance from the park. Five shareable cabins have been blocked off for the Bruce Trail hikers. Please contact Rob at relax@snugharbour.on.ca. Choose one of the cabins or another one of your choosing if another is available. http://snugharbour.on.ca/accommodations.htm
