The McCrae Lake Conservation Reserve Trail – found on Georgian Bay Rd. off Hwy 400 is a winter Nordic trail which, in the summer, is used for recreational hiking purposes and to access the McCrae Lake Wilderness Area. Officially designated as a Provincial Wilderness Area, McCrae Lake is exceptional in that it houses no commercial development at all; it remains unspoiled and in its natural state.
Consisting of 2.8 km of trail one-way, the McCrae Lake Conservation Trail winds its way to the Crow’s Nest Lookout, situated on a 100-foot granite cliff, overlooking the untarnished waters of McCrae Lake.
