FINLAYSON POINT PROVINCIAL PARK TRAILS
The trails of the Caribou Mountain/White Bear Forest Conservation Reserve offer the hiker, canoeist and the adventurer the opportunity to travel through a portion of Ontario’s forest that over time has changed very little.
Old Fire Ranger Trail: Accessed from the fire tower, this advanced trail was used by the fire rangers to get from the Caribou Lake portage to the fire tower. The trail is approximately 400 m and takes about 15 minutes to walk.
Red Fox Trail: This challenging trail which varies from an intermediate to an advanced level is approximately 6.5 km in length and can be hiked in about three hours.
Beaver Trail: This intermediate trail passes through rocky terrain and steep hills. This 3 km trail that takes you through the heart of the “old growth” forest can be hiked in one and a half hours.
Otter Trail: This intermediate trail offers a great look at the old growth while walking along the shores of Pecours Bay and Cassels Lake. This 4.5 km hike will take approximately two hours.
White Bear Trail: Ranked as beginner, this trail offers quick access to a large stand of old growth pine a short distance from the fire tower. The trail is 3 km in length and takes about two hours to hike.
Peregrine Trail: This intermediate trail travels along the shores of Cassels Lake and back through the heart of the forest. This hike is about 5 km in length and takes about two and a half hours to walk.
