Trail guides are available at the Park Gate and trail heads.

Bonnie's Pond Trail 3 km (1.25 hours) moderate
Named after an unfortunate workhorse who drowned while skidding logs over the pond's thin ice, this trail leads to a spectacular lookout. Along the way, you may see beech trees scarred by the claws of black bears climbing for nuts. Look for signs of natural disturbances such as blackened pine stumps burnt in a forest fire, insect outbreaks and wind damage. In winter, this trail is snowshoeing favourite.

Lakehead Loop 1.5 km (30 minutes) easy
A family favourite, this trail crosses Silent Creek, climbs to stands of hemlock, maple and red oak and comes to a scenic view of Silent Lake.

Lakeshore Hiking Trail 15 km (4-6 hours) strenuous
While circling Silent Lake, you pass through different types of forest, see colourful rock cuts and panoramic views. You can also access this trail by canoe at several points.
