Algonquin Highlands Ridge Trail

The Ridge Trail is the backbone of the Algonquin Highlands trail system. The Ridge Trail offers long distance, "back-country" hiking experience. The trail follows a rugges path along a rocky ridge form North Shroe Road, through to Little Hawk Lake.

The power of nature can be observed via the damage to portions of the forest along the ridge resulting from a tornado experienced in the area during the summer of 2006.
