Rock Dunder is a treasure that lies within the internationally recognized Thousand Islands Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve.Rising 275 feet above Morton Bay, with trails leading to one of the highest points of land in the area, Rock Dunder provides breathtaking views of the surrounding lakes and woodlands. The trails and vistas are enjoyed seasonally, by both local residents and visitors to the area. For many, childhood memories of hiking trips to Rock Dunder still remain fresh in their minds.
Located at the portage leading to the Gananoque River system and down through the heart of the UN Biosphere, Rock Dunder provides a natural rest for canoeists traveling the Rideau Waterway.
The Land Trust volunteers have been working hard to make improvements to the trails and repairs to the two log cabins which provide a brief rest stop for hikers.
Please obey the following access rule! “Open sunrise to sunset, May 15 to Nov 15”.
The lands are open sunrise to sunset May 15 to November 15.They are closed to all visitors at all other times.
