Adventure Description

One of the most popular adventures we've ever organized returns! Last year's visit was unbelievably beautiful and quiet. While the crowds flock to Algonquin to view fall colours, Frontenac is where it's really at. East of the city with a fraction of the visitors, Frontenac is a unique landscape that is every bit as beautiful as the more famous parks but with a more diverse terrain. We'll be walking across beaver dams, over granite barrens and through golden forest.

The hike itself is a relatively easy 13km but super interesting due to the natural features along the way and some beautiful look outs. This is a long day so we'll be leaving early. You won't want to miss it!
