Achilles Lake Trail
A popular fishing spot for 800 years, this quiet lake north of Hearst still teems with walleye and northern pike.
Fishing is the biggest lure, but the tranquil setting also attracts campers hoping to spot wildlife large and small or the dazzling brilliance of the Northern Lights at night.
Fish for pickerel, pike, whitefish and perch, then clean your catch at a fish cleaning hut close to the boat launch in the campground. Watch for common snowshoe hares, chipmunks and squirrels.
Along the access road, you might see moose and bear but only rarely will red fox, marten, lynx and beaver cross your path. Hunting in this park is subject to Ontario Hunting Regulations; Certain restrictions apply.
For more information, contact the park or your local area or district office of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
