We hiked Hazelwood Trail for the first time yesterday. We liked that it’s a historic trail from pioneer times that the Hazelwood family made to get to Port Carling. It certainly has challenging bits and some steep hills. We had to watch our footing carefully, spring melt and lotsa mud! We got as far as the beaver pond but couldn’t see how to get further due to the terrain. We’ll go again! When the birds have returned.
