We're into August and the bugs are subsiding which means we can start to explore further into the forest again!

One of Wilderness Union's favourite hikes. Just over 2 hours outside of Toronto and you feel like you're deep in the wilderness. Our route takes you into classic Canadian Shield territory, through a beautiful forest that opens onto pristine lakes and more beaver ponds than you've ever seen before. We'll carefully make our way across granite rock faces and balance as we cross between lakes on beaver dams.

Along the way, we have a good chance of seeing beavers, porcupines, even bears and moose.

Our end point is a gorgeous lake where we'll stop for lunch for long enough to cool off in the crystal waters before heading back the way we came.

Adventure notes

This hike is moderately challenging. While not long, it does require you to cross some narrow beaver dams and at one point, descend a small rock face. There's a rope and it's perfectly safe when approached carefully. If you have any concerns about your suitability, please contact us on Discord.

The precise location will be revealed once you've signed up. Self-drivers - we're going 200km North of Toronto.
