Old Dog Trail

The Old Dog Trail is a short hike through the lowland forest of Mikisew Provincial Park. Ash trees, red maple, and many wildflowers are abundant along the trail. The easy grade of this trail makes it suitable for people of all ages.



Three sandy beaches are perfect for a day's respite by the water at this family campground on Eagle Lake. Come for a swim, try some fishing, go for a paddle. Or follow hiking trails through pine, birch, maple and hemlock forests, home of chipmunks, squirrels and raccoons in this little piece of wilderness.



Directions: From the HWY 11/17 junction near Seymour Street, head southeast on HWY 11 for about 57 km. Turn right at Marie Street and right at Eagle Lake Road. Continue on Eagle Lake Road for 13 km, and turn left at Park Road South. Take a left 1.5 km later towards the Provincial Park.
