Adventure Description

We're visiting Algonquin Highlands to see some of Muskoka's most impressive scenery. There's a reason the hike we're doing has viewpoints in the title... This is a challenging 11km hike that will take us along a series of incredible lookouts. There's just over 330m of total elevation gain, some of which is pretty steep so you'll need to be in decent shape for this trip but it's not overly difficult.

"Arguably the most scenic trail south of Algonquin Park... spectacular viewpoints"

There's so much up to see this way. We'll also be taking in the historic wooden log-chute at hawk lake, the last of its kind in Ontario and a feat of engineering that served the loggers who were once based up there. I know it sounds kind of boring but it's actually pretty cool.

High Falls

On the way back, we're checking in at High Falls, one of the most impressive waterfalls in Muskoka before heading home.
