Blueberry Mountain Trail — Attraction in Lanark Highlands

Update: Went again today (Sept 2024), still nice but somehow shorter than I remember. No bugs at this time of year, you're probably okay bug-wise going on this trail starting by the end of August, can't speak for sooner than that in the year.

The trail wasn't very busy when I was there. Parking for 8-10 cars available, which was plenty when I visited. The drive from Ottawa to the trail was beautiful, with an abundance of fall colours.

Views are great but if you go later afternoon on a sunny day then there is a lot of glare from the sun. I recommend going in the morning, or at sunset would be very pretty if you can brave the trail back in the dark. As others recommend autumn leaves are likely to...
