Trappers Trail

TRAIL SPECS:

Trail distance: 1.5km

Total trail time: 30-45 mins

Trail Rating: NOVICE

Follow highway 17N until you reach Lake Superior Provincial Park. The turnoff for Trappers Trail is just before Gargantua Road.

A quick two minute drive in off the highway brings you to a nice and easy, yet scenic trail around a beaver pond. Fairly flat with not much climbing, the half hour to 45 minute trail is ideal for children. Most of the difficult areas have boardwalks over them.

Keep on the lookout for moose, beaver, and assorted waterfowl. The pond is very calm and mirror-like with many lilypads freckling the surface. We noticed two beaver lodges, although there may be more.

A section of the boardwalk that leads off your hike around the trappers trail loop.	View of the colorful mountain and the glassy water from the first boardwalk across the beaver pond.	A shot of the lilypads freckling the beaver pond almost entirely.
A very small waterfall tricking underneath fallen trees and rocks, about halfway along the loop.	The terrain along the trail is fairly easy. Great quick trail if you are looking for something nice for your children.	An absolutely gorgeous hike to do if you are looking for a place to checkout some fall colours!
