Finally crossed it off of our list this was quite the journey from our cottage, over 3 hours one way, but well worth it. We had my Parents 68 and 70 and my children 6/8/13 and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. The hike was short but we stayed for a while to take it the breath taking views. There is a number of scenic look outs at the top and every one just as stunning. We also explored the river down at the picnic area and canoe launch. Definitely recommend this shot trail if you travel east of Algonquin at all!

My son and I had an amazing 3 day trip! The guides (Nick and Travis) did a great job teaching us about sledding and caring for the dogs. They also prepared delicious meals which were safe for my son who has multiple food allergies. It was so beautiful to have the dogs take us through the park in deep snow. The dogs were definitely the highlight of the trip and getting to know their unique personalities was so fun. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone! It’s a unique, winter experience that should not be missed!

Impressive sized trees. No trail map and could not see the logging camp. Took 1 hour with a 10 year old child.

Travelling on Highway 60, we stopped to visit the Algonquin Logging Museum. What a great place to visit. Starting with a video presentation which end with the screen rising and the trail outside in front of us. Walking round the trail the story of logging in the park is told with information boards and displays. There are many photo opportunities. In this case we selected around 70 for our on-line gallery, of which 6 have been selected to share on facebook. It was a dry warm overcast day when we visited. The trail took us around an hour to walk around the trail, which whilst is step free, undulates with several gradients.

This makes an excellent starting point to a visit to the park as you can pick up leaflets on the trails and advice from the satff as to the latest wildlife sightings.

This is a nice short trail on level ground and suitable for all ages and almost all levels of ability. Not strenuous. There are several benches along the trail for those who wish to stop and enjoy - or to stop and rest.
9. Two Rivers Trail

My wife and I stayed at the Lake of Two Rivers Campground and walked to the Two Rivers Trail for a hike. The trail is about 2.5 km long and winds up an relatively steep incline to a cliff that offers spectacular views. The trail is a mix of pine needles and roots and rocks. It winds up the hill nicely and coming back down it is a little more steep. The trail is a loop - good hike.
10. Lake Opeongo

Reviewed By Mustacheo27 - Kingston, Canada
Beautiful, scenic views from many backcountry sites. This is a must see for any camping lover. Ideally, to get away from traffic and other campers you might try a more backcountry lake than Opeongo. It tends to have many taxis and other campers around, but not enough to really make it feel less like camping. Beware of a slight wind on Opeongo - it could make your Sunday paddle back to access point a VERY daunting and difficult one.
