Beaver Dam Trail 4.5
km (2 hours) moderate
Hike through dense forest and forested wetlands and watch for moose,
bears, deer, fishers, ruffed grouse. Look up to see osprey nests
in the tops of swamp-killed trees and scan the water's edge for
heron. A beaver dam at the rock fracture controls the water level
in Bucke Lake and affects Grundy Lake, Gut Lake and Nisbet Creek.
Gut Lake Trail 2.5
(1.5 hours) easy
This scenic trail passes through two different terrains -- rugged,
bald Precambrian Shield rock and lakes, streams and wetlands that
drain into Georgian Bay. If you walk quietly, you may see herons,
songbirds, frogs, fox, deer, bear and moose.
Swan Lake Trail 1.5
km (1 hour) easy
This trail circles and crosses Swan Lake Nature Reserve. A boardwalk
traverses a wetland alive with plants and animals and leads to an
observation platform. The trail continues over bald, glacier-scoured
granite rock overlooking the lake. In blueberry season, take along
a bucket.
