James Cooper Lookout Trail| Length: | 1.5 km, loop | | Rating: | moderate | | Duration: | 45 minutes | | Description: |
The trail takes visitors to a spectacular south-facing lookout for a view over Maple, Beech, Big & Little Boshkung, and Twelve Mile lakes. There is a steep ascent directly from North Shore Road up through a beautiful mixed forest. For a gentler ascent, hikers can begin from a second trail entrance off Mifflin Rd.
This trail also provides access to the Algonquin Highlands Ridge Trail – a rugged, 8 km, back-country hiking trail.
Directions: Take North Shore Road (just 5 km north of Carnarvon off Highway 35) past the Algonquin Highlands Township Office. A small parking area is located alongside the road, just metres from the trailhead. If accessing from Mifflin Rd., continue a little further on North Shore Rd. to Mifflin Rd. – a small paring area is available directly across from the trail entrance. Overflow and winter parking is available at the Township Office.
