Amisk Self-guiding Trail — Attraction in Unorganized Division No. 1

I have hiked the Amisk Trail multiple times, most recently in November 2020. It is a beautiful and enjoyable hike and a lesser known, peaceful trail in the Whiteshell.

It was an approx. 4.5 km looped trail. The hike was very scenic and interesting. There were a couple of viewpoints near the beginning of the trail, on top of the rocky landscape, with beautiful views of the river and surrounding landscape. The trail followed through a mix of lush peaceful forest and on top of the open rock face typical in the Canadian Shield. There were lots of ups and downs but the inclines were all short.

About halfway along the trail, there was a junction where multiple trails intersected. The Amisk Spur continues with a steep descent to the river, with nice views at the bottom. I ended up finding the trail to Inverness Falls after following the Amisk Spur for a short ways. Right before the trail descends to the river, there was a narrow trail on the left side marked with flagging tape, but it was difficult to find and the map was definitely not clear on where to find it. The trail was not well-marked or defined with infrequent arrow signs and some flagging tape. The trail led through forest and rocky areas and eventually arrived at a gravel road with cabins. We continued on the road to the right for a short ways before arriving at Inverness Falls. Unfortunately, the falls could only be viewed from the top while standing on a small bridge and they were right beside cabins in a resort area. The falls were underwhelming and disappointing as I had envisioned them being among the forest where you could sit alongside them. There was no way to get to the bottom of the falls and it was not a very private area with all the cabins around. There was a small beach on Brereton Lakeacross from the falls where I enjoyed lunch. The trail was difficult to follow on the way back and we lost our way a few times and had to backtrack. In the future, I would stick to the regular Amisk Trail and not likely revisit the Inverness Falls section.

The trail was maintained, well marked (except for the section leading to Inverness Falls) with frequent signs, and easy to follow. I had a few ticks along the trail. Overall, I really enjoyed this hike and it was very rewarding! Bonus was that the trail was quiet with few...

Ok trail. Good beginners trail, perhaps? There's supposed to be a self guided trail to Inverness falls but it's sketchy w/flagging tape and fallen trees and deer trail. And.. to be honest, we came back and did the other way around by the cabins to the falls and it's not worth it. Amisk trail is nice enough but experienced folk would give it a miss, or Conquer it to see how quick it can be accessed. It a nice trail for those in the area, but not to drive an hour and a half to do.. there are other trails worth that. Nature is wonderful, and it's teeming with that, spouse got great mushroom photos, so, you know,...

Very scenic. A good aerial view of the river and landscape and a beaver dam. It intersects with the trans-Canada trail, which can make navigating a little more tricky, as another poster has indicated. The Amisk trail does not go to the Inverness falls, however the nearby transcanada trail does. BTW compared to other falls nearby (Rainbow or Viburnum), Inverness is pretty small. There are a few nice metal park benches along the trail, which is uncommon on most trails near here. Also some nice boardwalks in places. Best to access from the south and...
