Duchesnay Falls Trails — Attraction in Unorganized North Nipissing

A rewarding hike and trail! As you enter, you’re greeted by the falls gushing towards you and birds singing along the way. As you thread ahead in the trail, like me, you would appreciate the well laid trail maps and a difficulty-rating for each route. I found this very helpful! There are enough and more picture points and the trail makes for a great way to get some cardio and to have fun with friends/family. As you elevate in altitude you’ll be drawn towards the look out point which is worth the hike and hype. The whole area is preserved in a way to cause as less disturbance to natural life as possible (Wild flowers, Butterflies and Lush greens) and the same adds to the beauty of the trail. Just a word of caution, If you’re going with kids or if you’re a rookie like me, I’d recommend to avoid the difficult-level trail as it keeps rising in elevation with rocks and stones. It’s steep too so watch your step if you don’t have proper hiking boots. I’d definitely not recommend that route during rains or just after the snow has melted as it gets even riskier. It’s a 3.5 km loop so pretty easy! It was humbling and amazing to say the least. PS: there’s good parking space right outside the entrance and a trash can for litter. Hope you enjoy...

Absolutely beautiful and adventurous! There are 2 trials you can follow which will lead to some stunning waterfalls. (recommend you bring waterproof footwear just in case) You can get up close for some great pictures and even interact with some animals or reptiles (garter snakes are common in this area, and a few chipmunks) the trail leads far, and is a bit rough, so best to start around lunch time and bring a few snacks along the way so to finish before dark. On one trail (the waterfall to the left of the other one) the trails goes a bit into the woods and further up there's a bridge so you can also walk on the other side of the falls. Other than that it's quite the adventure you'd love to be a part of and you can obtain a lot of great photos so bring a good quality camera. That's all for now, that's for taking the time to read...

Looking for something to do this weekend? How about snowshoeing Duchesnay Falls. All the trails are groomed and ready for you to enjoy. My favorite route is: From the parking lot, head 300 m west to the opposite side of the river, Then head up the west duchesnay falls trail for 400m and then cross at the falls bridge. From the bridge head, follow the south duchesnay valley trail, the valley trail is relatively flat. Avoid the rigormortis trail and continue on to the lookout trail. ascend the lookout trail to the Lake Nipissing lookout. head to barker trail and then take a left turn towards the east on the north duchesnay trail, then south on the east duchesnay trail following the river back to the falls bridge or follow the hydro right of way back to...
