I hiked the 7.5 km Tunnel Island Trail (Loops A and B) on July 27, 2020. The terrain was rugged and rocky as it passed through peaceful forests with scenic lake views in the gorgeous Canadian Shield. This was such a beautiful hike! The trail began on a wide gravel path and continued past a bridge to where Loop A began on the right side. The trail followed through mostly shaded pine forest and along the edge of the lake which offered so many gorgeous views along the way! There were lots of rocks and roots and some ups and downs, which made it interesting and provided a bit of a challenge. Loop A eventually connected with Loop B to form one large loop around the perimeter of the island. The scenery was so amazing along the entire way. There was a MAJOR hazard about 4.3 km into the hike - a massive scots pine tree had recently fallen across the trail. The only way to get around was to bypass around the tip of the tree and back to the trail which involved some bushwhacking through forest. There were some pretty and serene swimming spots with nice sand at some points along the lake which would be great on a hot day. Closer to the end of the hike, the trail passed through a section of open meadows with beautiful wildflowers before re-entering the forest and meeting up with the original loop. The trail was well marked. There were some offshoot trails along the way so it was helpful to check the AllTrails map. The elevation gain was around 200 metres in total (not 75 metres as listed here). This hike took me just under 3 hours to complete. Continue past the first small parking area down the road a short way to the second larger parking lot. The trail begins from here to the left of the map. There are no outhouses at the trailhead. The bugs were almost non-existent! There were a few mosquitoes but they weren’t vicious. This was such a wonderful hike and I can’t wait to return again!
