Murphys Point - Rideau Trail


This part of the trail starts at Upper Rideau Lake. There is a good beach with a dressing hut and toilets available, along the path the Trail crosses a stream and ascends a steep hill. In the spring trilliums, Duthchman's breeches and columbines can be found on the rocks. The trail passes through mixed woods with sumac bushes before emerging into a field where,off the Trail to the right, an escarpment overlooks the lake.

Towards the end of this section of the trail joins a cottage road in Murphys Point Provincial park. It turns right along this road and after 1 km turns left onto a track, and around a locked gate. Upon meeting another cottage road the Trail turns left and follows the road for 1.5km past the McParlin homestead on Hogg's Bay, and over a rushing stream. The Trail then turns left down the paved Park exit road and meets Elm Grove Road, where it turns right. At this point the Kingston Section of the Rideau Trail ends.
