Beaver Meadow Trail - 7 km (2 hours) moderate
Arrowhead's longest trail passes Porcupine Bluffs, the remnant shoreline of a huge ancient lake. (Easily visible in the spring and fall, the bluffs are masked during the leafy summer months.) It circles a large beaver pond with large rafts of cattails where you might see otter, moose, great blue heron, tree swallows and, of course, beavers. Towards the end, the trail crosses a field and see evidence of the once-successful Oke homestead -- old fence lines, building foundations and domestic plants such as rhubarb and apple trees.

Big Bend Lookout - easy
This short walk from the parking lot on Roe Campground Road leads to a panoramic view of the meandering Big East River and the surrounding Muskoka terrain.

Homesteaders Trail - 3 km (1 hour) moderate
In the 1870s, homesteaders cleared this area. Take this trail across moderately rugged terrain and see traces of abandoned farm fields now reclaimed by young forest.

Mayflower Lake Trail - 1 km (30 minutes) moderate
Ten thousand years ago, Mayflower Lake was a small bay in a large glacial lake. Today it is a small, deep, spring-fed lake. Its cold, clear waters provide ideal habitat for cold water fish such as rainbow trout. This trail has several lengthy climbs and descents over the hills surrounding Mayflower Lake and can be muddy, so wear your hiking boots.

Stubb's Falls Trail - 2 km (45 minutes) easy
Take this trail in early spring and wildflowers and songbirds will be your reward. At Stubb's Falls, the Little East River rushes down a rock chute. Stop here for a pleasant respite.
