Récollet Falls Trail — Attraction in Unorganized Centre Parry Sound

🥾 Experience: A good hike overall. You don't need to prepare specifically for it, just bring a bottle of water.

😅 Difficulty: Definitely moderate. Follow AllTrails on this one. The roots make it such that you need to look at the ground to make your way through, but the end is pretty and the walk is beautiful. I don't think hiking poles are necessary for this one.

🕕 Time of Year: end of August

🚻 Bathroom: As mentioned there are clean bathrooms in the visitor center.

☕ Amenities: Within the visitor center there's some snacks and souvenirs that you can purchase. There's also picnic benches outside to...
