Located near Nestor Falls, the Boreal Trail is a family friendly trail but would caution taking small children as it includes some very rocky terrain, as well as some steep uphill grades. The trail circles a large beaver pond and has several areas for viewing this pond. The trail is mostly on high granite ridges of jack pine forest, but travels through areas of black and white spruce, poplar, birch and ash. Wildlife is abundant. Look for whitetail deer, red fox, beaver and a broad variety of bird life.
There is a wonderful lookout and shelter at the end of the trail looking out over Log River and Highway 71.
