Geology Trail
This is a 5 km loop trail. The trail shares the same beginning as the Ecological trail for several hundred meters then turns off to the right.
This trail is moderate to hard. Hikers ascend a ridge, and walk along Long Lac, nearly 50 feet above the water.
There are a few well-deserved rest areas, and the view is spectacular. Across the lake, some fellow hikers may be spotted that have completed the hardest part of the trail! After the cross over, hikers climb back up to another scenic part of their travels.
Hikers will find themselves back out at the boat launch from where a short walk will lead to the parking area.
