SPOT THE BLACK BOXES

Along the trail you may spot thin black boxes located up in the trees. These are the daytime retreats for bats which eat thousands of flying insects every night.

VIEWING PLATFORM

The two-tier viewing platform provides a place to sit and rest while you look out over the Kenogami River. If you look south, in the distance you can see the old church which sits on the shores of Long Lake.

KENOGAMI RIVER

You can find evidence of the past logging operations along the river in the form of large groups of logs driven into the riverbed and then bound together. A notable view into history!

BOREAL LOWLANDS

Elevated boardwalks allow users to walk through the wet forest without disturbing the ecosystem. This forest is the home to unique plant and wildlife species that are found on the interpretive signs along the trail.

CAMPING AND BOATING

There is a fully equipped campground nearby located in the community of Longlac, beside the Kenogami River. The park offers a place to camp, fish on the river and hike on this trail.
