Bonnie's Pond Trail 3
km (1.25 hours) moderate
Named after an unfortunate workhorse who drowned while skidding
logs over the pond's thin ice, this trail leads to a spectacular
lookout. Along the way, you may see beech trees scarred by the claws
of black bears climbing for nuts. Look for signs of natural disturbances
such as blackened pine stumps burnt in a forest fire, insect outbreaks
and wind damage. In winter, this trail is snowshoeing favourite.
Lakehead Loop 1.5
km (30 minutes) easy
A family favourite, this trail crosses Silent Creek, climbs to stands
of hemlock, maple and red oak and comes to a scenic view of Silent
Lake.
Lakeshore Hiking Trail 15
km (4-6 hours) strenuous
While circling Silent Lake, you pass through different types of
forest, see colourful rock cuts and panoramic views. You can also
access this trail by canoe at several points.
