Get your gear and come hike this beautiful new 6.9-kilometer loop that takes you to the summit overlooking the white quartzite Mountains of the Killarney Mountain range. Merv’s Landing is a 6.9 km trail that begins at the trailhead at the Point Grondine Park. This single track, naturally surfaced trail flows through hardwood and Pine stands, crosses beaver damns via handcrafted pine bridges to the Recollets summit overlooking the Killarney Mountain Range.
Relax for lunch while taking in the rich history of the Anishnaabek people of Point Grondine, Killarney and the French River. Interpretive signage at the summit highlights the connection the Anishnaabek have to this vast land. The trail down to Mahzenahzing Lake will give you an opportunity to take in some breathtaking scenery (and great photo ops!) and gives you a glimpse into the landscape of the Point Grondine Park.
