Beetle Lake Trail

The Beetle Lake Trail has it all, rocky ridges, lookouts, magnificent hardwood hills, beautiful creek and an amazing bog. The trail starts beside Algonquin Outfitters and traverses a hardwood forest full of new and old growth trees. As you explore the trail you will come to a footbridge corssing Oxbow creek. This is an excellent location to have lunch or a rest. Evidence of beaver acitivity is visible in this area along with blue herons searching for a meal in the creek.

After the bridge you will hike to the top of the ridge and follow the trail south through a mixed wood forest. A massive 100 foot rocky ridge awaits you overlooking Oxtongue Lake, providing an excellent photo opportunity. Continue down the ridge to Elliot Road then onto Hwy 60, crossing the bridge back to Algonquin Outfitters.
